About Kathryn Smith

Just Call Me Kate

Kathryn Smith

I decided I wanted to be a romance writer when I was 10 years old and had just finished reading a copy of Kathleen Woodiwiss's Ashes In the Wind, which I had 'liberated' from my older sister. I tried writing my own romance, complete with love scene (my poor mother!) soon after. Though I toyed with other genres growing up (I especially loved horror and fantasy) and did the typical teen poetry purge, I always came back to romance. These days, being able to combine my love of romance with my fascination for the paranormal is one of the highlights of my life.

My first book was published in 2001 through Avon Romance. Since then I've published over a dozen books and made the jump from straight historical romance to paranormal historical romance. I've also become a USA Today bestselling author! In 2008 I'll be embarking on a new adventure with the publication of my first romantic urban fantasy series, The Nightmare Chronicles. And yes, I'll still be writing historical paranormal romance as well. Why give up a good thing when I can have my cake and eat it too?
