Kathryn Attalla

1/15/1957-10/26/2015

Like most authors, Kathryn didn't start out as a writer, but rather as a reader. Her passion for romance novels began in her late teens and left her with an itch to discover the world. After living in places as culturally diverse as Athens, Greece and Cairo, Egypt (where she met and married her own romantic hero) she returned to the states.

From a very young age, she showed an aptitude for telling stories. Of course her mother called her a pathological liar, but she preferred to think back on those days as an apprenticeship for her future craft.

After the birth of her daughter, her husband suggested she take up writing as a hobby to fill her days. The hobby became a love, and the love an obsession. (Sometimes her husband was sorry he ever made that suggestion.)

Kathryn learned how to write from the best- the authors who penned the books she spent countless hours reading. Her imagination was second to none and working alongside accomplished writers allowed her to refine her talent.

After a rough but courageous battle with cancer, Kathryn passed away in late 2015, leaving her wonderful stories as her legacy.
