ⓘ About Kathleen Lawless
She began writing once her three kids were down for their nap, then later on when they were at school. Even though they’re grown up and on their own, she still prefers that school day writing schedule. She blames a misspent youth watching “Bonanza”, “Rawhide”, and “Maverick” for her fascination with cowboys, which hasn’t kept her from creating this wide variety of occupations and interests for her many alpha male heroes. Steele, her hero in “Her Undercover Cowboy”, is a modern day cowboy, so when she was wooed by a guy called Steel, even though he is not a cowboy, but an alpha male and her forever hero. Which is why each of her stories end with Happily Ever After. Not that she is able to ever stick to just a single genre. So many tales to tell, never enough time. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Blue Sky Island Books series, Kathleen Lawless has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
