Kate Carlisle writes for Harlequin Desire and is also the New York Times bestselling author of the Bibliophile Mystery series for NAL.
Kate spent twenty years in television production before enrolling in law school, where she turned to writing fiction as a lawful way to kill off her professors. She eventually left law school, but the urge to write has never left her. Kate and her husband live near the beach in Southern California where she was born and raised.
Connie used to think authors were sophisticated creatures who lived in NYC, went to glitzy parties and wrote as the muse dictated.
Then she met one. The writer looked a lot like her-jeans, a few extra pounds, a love of books and a quirky imagination.
With the encouragement of that writer and many like her, Connie now lives the dream, writing big stories from her little desk in her little town. Even as you read this, she is working on a new story and living happily ever after.
