About the Author

Kay Lyons always wanted to be a writer, ever since the age of seven or eight when she copied the pictures out of a Charlie Brown book and rewrote the story because she didn't like the plot. Through the years her stories have changed but one characteristic stayed true-- they were all romances. Each and every one of her manuscripts included a love story.


Published in 2005 under under the name Kay Stockham, Kay's first release was a national bestseller. Kay has also been a HOLT Medallion, Book Buyers Best and RITA Award nominee.

Kay loves combing the beach for treasures with her dog, Harley, and catching every sunset she can from the southern-most end of the island. An empty-nester, she currently lives in Wilmington, NC.

Look for her most recent novels with Kindred Spirits Publishing under the name KAY LYONS.
