About Maureen Child
I've been writing romances for twelve years now and sold my first book inSeptember of 1990. It was a wonderful story with a terrible title-RUN WILDMY HEART-(not my idea), and was published by Berkley.Since then, I've sold more than fifty books in several different genresunder just as many names. (That's a long story.) But in recent years I havebeen known as, Ann Carberry, Sarah Hart, Kathleen Kane and Maureen Child.Ann and Sarah have retired now, but Kathleen and I are still in the game!
As Kathleen Kane, I write historical/paranormal romances for St. Martin'sPress. Mostly set in the American west, these stories are usually funny,hopefully touching and always have a happy ending! (Otherwise, what would bethe point?) In Kathleen's books, I get to play with the other side of life.The side that's never predictable. There have been soul collectors andghosts and witches and angels and magical tinkers and reincarnation and, ohall sorts of fun things.
And exciting things, too! Last October, CBS made a movie based on my book, APOCKETFUL OF PARADISE. They retitled the movie, The Soul Collector, and itstarred Melissa Gilbert, Bruce Greenwood and Ossie Davis. If you're feelingbrave, go to the link on this page to see pictures of my husband and I onthe set. We had a blast!
As Maureen Child, I write contemporary romances for Silhouette Desire. Youwon't find ghosts or any other unexplainable happenings in these stories.But you will find humor, and love and maybe a tug or two on yourheartstrings. Right now, I'm writing an ongoing series called The BachelorBattalion about U.S. Marines and the people they love. There is justsomething about a man in uniform...but I digress. And I promise, the end ofmy books will always leave you smiling.
As for my life beyond writing...In the real world, I live in California withmy patient, understanding, and long suffering husband and my two kids-whoare not technically kids anymore, but that's another story, too. Oh yes, andI can't forget Abbey, the Golden Retriever who actually runs this place. Ifshe had opposable thumbs, she could probably rule the world.
