Katy Madison

Katy Madison has always loved stories. As a child she was always lugging a book around. At the age of eight, after having gone through over a hundred Nancy Drew mysteries, all the Laura Ingalls Wilder books--at least twice--and many others including her full weekly allotment of library books, Katy went to her mother and begged for a new book to read. Her frustrated mother handed her a romance novel. Katy fell in love with the romance genre. She quickly found where her mother hid the rest and began sneaking them out to read. She cut her eyeteeth on books by Georgette Heyer and Mary Stewart, not to mention dozens of Barbara Cartland's. Katy makes her home with her family and a clumsy cat on a tree-lined street in the Midwest. She thinks there is nothing better than a curling up in front of the fireplace and escaping into a good book while a storm rages outside. Except maybe the beach without the storm, plenty of sun, and, of course, a good book. Katy writes Gothic historical romances, one a winner of the Daphne du Maurier Award and another the winner of a Maggie. She also writes Western historical romances for Harlequin Historicals and writes contemporary Romantic Suspense as K.T. Madison. Basically she writes all kinds of romances. She's written for Kensington, Avon (HarperCollins), and Harlequin publishing houses and flies solo as an indie author, too. Her books have been in the Amazon top 100 many times.
