As a child, Kaitlyn Rice loved to lie on the floor of her bedroom and draw pencil sketches of characters. She remembers assigning each one a name and personality, and imagining what their lives might be like. This study of people and relationships–both real and made up–has always fascinated her. By her mid-teens, she was drawn into the world of romantic fiction. Through the years, Kaitlyn's most enduring pastime has been to curl up with a good romance novel, and her fondest dream has been to create full-fledged versions of those character sketches–in book form. She's thrilled to have finally realised that goal. Kaitlyn lives in Kansas with her husband and two daughters.
