Dixie Kane

FROM Dixie Kane's Bio page:

I was born in Hamilton, Texas so many years ago . . . well,
you don't need to know. I spent a couple of years in my
home town, then moved. And moved. And moved. I lived in
seven states: Texas, New York, Iowa, Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois and Louisiana. I went to thirteen grade schools
and two high schools. All that moving around made me an
expert at being the new kid. New kids either make friends
fast, or they learn how to be their own best friend.
I read a lot.

I made up happy endings for books that ended tragically,
and I added new chapters to books I never wanted to end.
Since I liked to read so much, I should have been a
librarian. Instead, I went to law school. I don't know what
I was thinking of. I did manage to have fun, though. How
could I not, when the very first time I went to court the
judge mistook me for a prostitute? And he wasn't the only
one. When I left the courtroom, a pimp tried to recruit me.

Maybe I should have .... Never mind.

I got over it. Being a lawyer, that is. I became a writer.
Before Dreaming of You I wrote seven books under two other
names--I have more aliases than some of my former clients.
DOY is the first by Dixie Kane.

My legal background should have prepared me to write legal
thrillers or mysteries. I've drafted criminal laws, tried
criminal cases, written appellate briefs and argued
criminal appeals before two state supreme courts. I've
roamed the cell blocks in Cook County Jail, and I have been
inside every penitentiary in Illinois.

But my muse refuses to come up with plots for legal
thrillers. Gertrude--that's my muse's name--doesn't care
for crime and punishment. Gerty has a wicked sense of
humor, and she likes sex.

So I am writing funny, sexy books.

I hope you like them.
