Kay Thomas didn't grow up burning to be a writer. As a child she wasn't even much of a reader until fourth grade. That's when she was stuck at home with the flu and her big sister read The Black Stallion aloud to her. For hours she was enthralled-shipwrecked in a foreign land and riding an untamed horse across the hot desert sand. Then tragedy struck. Her sister lost her voice. (Could have been Kay's flu.) But she couldn't wait to hear what happened to Alec Ramsey - so Kay picked up that book, finished reading it herself and went in search of more adventures at the local library.

Today Kay lives in Dallas with her husband, their two children and a shockingly spoiled Boston terrier named Jack. She writes "bulletproof" romantic thrillers for Harlequin Intrigue and loves to hear from readers. For excerpts, book trailers and more please visit her website above.
