  <about><![CDATA[Currently living in Missoula, Montana, Kat is the bestselling author of over forty Historical and Contemporary Romance novels.  Before she started writing in 1985, Kat was a real estate broker.  During that time, she met her husband, Larry Jay Martin, also an author.  Kat is a graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara, where she majored in Anthropology and History.  

 

&quot;I've always loved books.  I was an avid reader, with any number of my own stories rolling around in my head.  Writing them down seemed a logical step.&quot;

 

&quot;I love anything old,&quot; Kat says.  &quot;I love to travel and especially like to visit the places where my books are set.  My husband and I often stay in out-of-the-way inns and houses built in times past.  It's fun and it gives a wonderful sense of a by-gone era.&quot; 

 

Kat began with historical romance then started writing romantic suspense.
