 Katherine Greyle believes
that writing is both her greatest joy and her greatest challenge. Writing
for her is a passion and a discipline, both hard to sustain for long periods
of time. She keeps it lively by switching constantly among genres, from
Regencies, through contemporary adventures to fantasy and time travel.
Occasionally, she even writes humor articles for Racquetball Magazine. "But
all my works include romance," she says, "even if it's the love of the
perfect serve."
Years ago, someone told Kathy Greyle to write what was in heart. Little
did this person know what weirdness lurked within Kathy's twisted soul. Her
first novel, Oracle, was a futuristic romance that
won numerous awards including a RITA nomination for Best First Novel and
PRISM's Best of the Best award! Kathy's next series of books showcase her
humor in a historical trilogy beginning with
Rules For A Lady, published in January of 2001.
Major Wyclyff's Campaign was
launched in October and is followed in April 2002 by
Miss Woodley's Experiment. As much
a star in the historical genre as in paranormal, Kathy's reviews have been
excellent. In fact, her favorite hero, Major Wyclyff, even garnered a
Romantic Times KISS award!
Building on her humorous regencies, Kathy then wrote
No Place for a Lady, released in May 2003
which received Kathy's second Romantic Times KISS award! Don't forget
to look for Kathy's delightful time travel to the regency era in
Almost an Angel coming out from Love Spell in
November 2003. And lest she forget her Asian heritage, she recently
wrote the hysterical "Dragon for Dinner", a contemporary novella in the
acclaimed Playing with Matches
anthology from NAL in April 2003.
When writing novels and screenplays gets too difficult, Kathy relaxes by
rollerblading with her two daughters and playing racquetball at the highest
amateur levels.
