Kathy Altman writes contemporary romance, romantic suspense and the occasional ode to chocolate. She's published with Harlequin Superromance, and is a regular contributor to USA Today's "Happy Ever After" blog.

When Kathys not writing, reading or putting in her forty hours a week as a computer programmer for the Air Force, she enjoys baking, watching the Ciarán Hinds version of Persuasion and making other people feel superior by letting them win at Scrabble.
