About the Author

Kat Martin was born on July of 1947. She was raised in the Central Valley of California and attended the University of California, Santa Barbara. She graduated with a degree in Anthropology. Before becoming a writer, she was a real estate broker. She is married to the author Larry Jay Martin.
Kat has always been an avid reader and found herself with stories of her own rattling around in her head. Putting those stories on paper was an obvious next step for her. She started out as a historical romance writer but has since branched out into romantic suspense. Her contemporary stories are often inspired by current events or even the lyrics of a country song. Sometimes, her story ideas seem to spring from nowhere in particular. No matter what her inspiration, she is a gifted storyteller with bestselling books in her resume.
Kat Martin lives in Missoula, Montana with her husband. They have collaborated on a book under the pseudonym Kathy Lawrence.
