Kathleen Givens was born in New York City, but spent her early years living in the Northeast and Georgia before landing in Southern California. As a result, she is fluent in Valley Girl, Steel Magnolia, and Manhattanite. She travels extensively and has often served as a translator between American English and U.K. English, a derivative language. Her services have reached diplomatic levels. Or rather, she tries to be diplomatic.
She made her writing debut at the age of ten with a rewrite of Little Women, in which Jo marries Laurie and no one dies. Surprisingly, it is not in print. In high school she and a friend wrote a dreadful 250-page play about an English rock group. Even more surprisingly, it is also not in print. Her official writing career began in 1999, and she continues to write strong, heroic women who face all that life throws at them - and get cute guys in kilts.
Kathleen lives with His Majesty in California, in a tragically flawed house with the neurotic and dictatorial cat Formerly Known as Miss Lily. As the oldest of the Whine Sisters, she has the unsought responsibility of correcting her siblings, which has cut into her writing time. She is hoping that they will eventually mature and share her vision of the world.
Astrological Sign: Virgo
Favorite Leading Man: His Majesty
Favorite Food: Chocolate. Or chocolate.
