Kate McMurray writes smart romantic fiction. She likes creating stories that are brainy, funny, and of course sexy, with regular guy characters and urban sensibilities. She advocates for romance stories by and for everyone. When she’s not writing, she edits textbooks, watches baseball, plays violin, crafts things out of yarn, and wears a lot of cute dresses. She lives in Brooklyn, NY, with a bossy cat and too many books.

I have some ideas for a sequel; if I can figure out how to do it in a way that works for all of the characters, I will. My current publication schedule is a little bonkers, but an In Hot Pursuit sequel is definitely in the realm of possibility. (less)

I do actually have other books with POC MCs. They are my baseball books. Out in the Field has a Dominican hero (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...) and the whole Rainbow League series is based on a diverse set of characters who play in an LGBT baseball league together (https://www.goodreads.com/series/1502...) (Book 2, Thrown a Curve, has a Black hero and Book 3, The Long Slide Home, has a Puerto Rican hero.)

I'm glad you enjoyed Race for Redemption! Thanks, Kate(less)

Josephine Myles Hi Kate - thanks for the friendvite! I keep meaning to read your books because I hear so many good things about them, but being a Brit I'm mystified by baseball. Actually, I'm mystified by cricket too, so that's no excuse :)
