Arlene Kay spent 20 years as a Senior Federal Executive where she was known as a most unconventional public servant. Her time with the Federal Government from Texas to Washington DC, allowed her to observe both human and corporate foibles and rejoice in unintentional humor. These locations and the many people she encountered are celebrated in her mystery novels. Ms. Kay is the author of INTRUSION and DIE LAUGHING, as well as SWANN DIVE, MANTRAP and GILT TRIP (BelleBridge Books) published in 2014. She holds graduate degrees in Political Science and Constitutional Law.
