Kaye Calkins lives in Missouri with her husband, Merle and one strong-willed cat, erroneously named Jasmine. After raising two daughters, she had more time to read historical novels, a favorite pastime since she was a girl. Now she is in her office writing, editing, re-writing or sitting and imagining 'what-if' for her own light-hearted traditional Regencies. She and her husband still find time to enjoy their children, grandchildren and their great granddaughters, when they're not traveling through the Ozarks.
