Kate Flora is an American author who writes mystery, suspense, and crime novels. Flora is best known for the Thea Kozak books. That left the library as her only source of entertainment. Though, you wouldn’t have found Kate Flora complaining. She always looked forward to her afternoon jaunts to the library. The books she read fed her imagination and made each day a little brighter.

However, the author grew up in a period that was rather restrictive in the options it offered its young people. Women, in particular, had very little in the way of viable employment opportunities.
