Katherine Kingsley is the author of five historical romances for Dell: In the Presence of Angels, The Sound of Snow, Call Down the Moon, Once Upon a Dream, and In the Wake of the Wind.

Her earlier callings included being a professional modern dancer, a firefighter, an EMT, and a preschool teacher. But it is writing that has brought her the greatest joy.

She is also a two-time Romance Writers of America RITA finalist for No Sweeter Heaven and No Brighter Dream. She lives in the Colorado mountains with two Jack Russell terriers and an Amazon parrot, and spends a few months each year on the Greek isle of Mykonos.
