Kathleen Lawless

"My mother told me I was eating sand before I was weaned. I adore the beach, and always have." She also adored books, and since her head was always full of people and their stories, it wasn’t much of a stretch to start writing her own, in between raising three children and working in PR. She taught herself to write and switched from fiction to nonfiction seamlessly, publishing with the likes of Cosmopolitan, Teen, and others while penning her romances. Kathleen unwinds by hiking west coast beaches, relaxing in her hot tub, or scouring the video stores in search of romantic movies with happy endings, which seem to be in short supply. She enjoys teaching writing workshops, traveling to sunny destinations and recently took up golf. She believes red wine and dark chocolate are basic food groups, and that nothing does a body more good than friendship, laughter, and a happy ending.
