Kate Brady began writing fiction when her doctoral research became tedious. For years, she wrote in the closet, penning several novels that--thankfully--remain there. Now, she leads a double life. Some days, she's a choral conductor and professor of music education. Other days, she plays with imaginary people on her computer. Kate lives in Atlanta with her husband, two children, and an array of furry, feathery, and scaly things. When she has time to read, her nose is most often found in a police story or gourmet cooking magazine! She is currently working on her next novel.
