About the author

Kay Hooper

108 books2,456 followers
Kay Hooper (aka Kay Robbins) was born in California, in an air force base hospital since her father was stationed there at the time. The family moved back to North Carolina shortly afterward, so she was raised and went to school there.

The oldest of three children, Kay has a brother two years younger and a sister seven years younger. Her father and brother are builders who own a highly respected construction company, and her mother worked for many years in personnel management before becoming Kay's personal assistant, a position she held until her untimely death in March 2002. Kay's sister Linda works as her Business Manager, Events Coordinator, and is playing a major role in the creation and operation of The Kay Hooper Foundation.

Kay graduated from East Rutherford High School and attended Isothermal Community College — where she quickly discovered that business classes did not in any way enthrall her. Switching to more involving courses such as history and literature, she also began to concentrate on writing, which had been a longtime interest. Very quickly hooked, she asked for a Christmas typewriter and began seriously working on her first novel. That book, a Regency romance titled Lady Thief, sold to Dell Publishing in 1980. She has since published more than 60 novels and four novellas.

Kay is single and lives in a very small town in North Carolina, not far from her father and siblings. Deigning to live with her are a flock of cats — Bonnie, Ginger, Oscar, Tuffy, Felix, Renny, and Isabel — of various personalities who all like sleeping on manuscripts and whatever research happens to be spread across Kay's desk. And living amongst the many felines are two cheerfully tolerant dogs, a shelter rescue, Bandit, who looks rather like a small sheepdog, and a Sheltie named Lizzie.

This wasn't one of my favorite books but then again I don't like cowboys/cowgirls either. This book started in the woods which was nice but this lady could not make up her mind about this guy. It wasn't as romantic as the other books I read and I didn't like the guy too much either. This guy made her go see her ex-husband to make sure she was over him. I think that if she hadn't spoken to him in years that she was over him. Then he got upset for her seeing her ex without him. Lame!!

coming home from a long camping trip the last thing the reclusive author
Erin Scott expected or needed to find on her isolated mountain Colorado cabin was the most devastatingly handsome man she ever lay eyes on and theres some about him that she really didnt like..... He owns the publishing company that publishes her books. He throws her off balance and does everything in his power to help her out of her writers block but can he also help heal her heart.
