Kathy Attalla's passion for romance began in her late teens and left her with an itch to discover the world. After living in places as culturally diverse as Athens, Greece, and Cairo, Egypt, (where she met and married her own romantic hero), she returned to the States and settled with her husband in the quiet hamlet of Sterling Forest, New York. From a very young age, Kathy showed an aptitude for telling stories. Of course, her mother called her a pathological liar, but Kathy prefers to think back on those days as an apprenticeship for her future craft. Kathy learned how to write from the best - the authors who penned the books she spent countless hours reading. Although her writing allows her mind to soar in the clouds, she has an energetic nine-year-old who keeps her feet planted on the ground.
