I was an avid reader, with any number of my own stories rolling around in my head. Writing them down seemed a logical step.""I love anything old," Kat says. "I love to travel and especially like to visit the places where my books are set. My husband and I often stay in out-of-the-way inns and houses built in times past. It's fun and it gives a wonderful sense of a by-gone era."
