Kay is a lover of life and learning. She spent the early part of her career teaching fine arts at the college level in southern New Jersey and showing her paintings throughout the United States. Kay decided to pursue her passion for writing after her work was selected by Romance Writers of America's RAMP program in 2021. She has written five books since 2021 and is intensely interested in contemporary gothic and suspense romance. Kay loves to balance dark characters with spiritual ones, providing ways for heroes and heroines to transform themselves into something better. Besides her passion for art, writing, and reading, she loves blues music, tequila, her husband Barry, and her standard poodle Tango. This is not intended to be in any prioritized order. She lives in a mid-century modern kit home in Wilmington, DE, designed by Donald Scholz.
