About the author
Kassandra Lamb
55 books233 followersPsychology and writing (or writing and psychology) have always vied for the number one spot on my list of greatest passions. I am now a retired psychotherapist and can afford to spend as much time as I want on my writing.
I am in Heaven! (Well, actually I live in Florida now.)
Some people have asked me if my protagonist, psychotherapist Kate Huntington, is me. I wish! She's much more consistently kind and compassionate than I am.
I was born and raised in Maryland and lived there most of my adult life. In addition to my psychotherapy practice, I also taught at Towson University for a decade. It was my favorite job of my entire lifetime, so I decided to base my first series, the Kate Huntington mysteries, in Towson, Maryland. My newer series, about a service dog trainer, is set in central Florida near where I live now, the Marcia Banks and Buddy cozy mysteries.
I blog about psychological topics, or anything else that strikes my fancy, about twice a month at www.misteriopress.com.

I am NOT a writer - but I love books and admire authors. And now I have a better insight into all that authors need to consider and conquer in getting their finished product out to their readers. Kassandra Lamb has honestly shared her personal experiences. I imagine this will be a great tool to aspiring authors. Bravo for being so willing to share your hard-won knowledge, Ms. Lamb.
