American Romance novelist, Kay Hooper envisioned her career a bit differently when she was younger. She was born in California, but her family quickly moved back to their home state of North Carolina after her birth. Her father was stationed in a California Air Force Base when she was born. In her family of five, she was the oldest child. Her original thought was to take business classes at a community college, but quickly decided that business did not do anything for her interests. After enrolling in some history and literature classes, her focus turned to writing. Her first novel was purchased by Dell Publishing, entitled Lady Thief. Her mother became her personal assistant, and Hooper has had more than 60 novels published. After her mother's death in 2002, her sister Linda became her business manager, publicist, and events coordinator.
Kay Hooper lives the small town life in North Carolina, where she fosters cats and kittens for the local rescue organization. Her family lives close by, and she has many cats and a couple of dogs. She has Kay's Pets Page for readers to view her pet family.
I picked this up because I enjoy Kay Hooper's books, this one was simple and entertaining. I was disappointed that is was so short, only took a few hours to get through but it was a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon when the weather was yucky!

I put this aside for several years because it sounds like a horror novel. The Haunting Of Josie was a very enjoyable 1994 mystery, with a few appearances by a spectre wanting a helping hand. No killer or death; a pure mystery! Other than wishing Josie and Marc had communicated with the ghost and see......more
The Haunting Of Josie is a book from my recommendation list that I tend to dive into when I’m really too short of time and can’t concentrate on anything. This had quite an interesting blurb and honestly had a high expectation after reading the prologue that begins with a CAT called pendragon. The st......more
I adored this one! It has just a touch of paranormal but not enough to call it a "paranormal romance." Let's call it "old school" LOL! I also love that it was a "sweet" story. There isn't much in the way of explicit scenes between the two main characters so it was a refreshing story. I thought the c......more
Fun, quick read by Kay Hooper. She never fails to impress me.......more
I mainly read mystery and don't like romance but I did like this book. I like this writers style and really wish the book had more of the mystery and less of the romance. I thought it was kinda funny that this ghost seemed to want her to do something and was getting impatient but for most of the boo......more
