Kay, Sharon: - Hi! I grew up in Ohio and earned a degree in photojournalism from Bowling Green State University. Recalling my life as a commuting college student in the 1970s-rushed breakfasts, vending machine lunches, and too many hours spent hunting for a decent parking spot-I began writing The Michelle Kilpatrick (cozy) Mysteries.When I'm not plotting fictional murders (strictly on paper, of course), I enjoy organic gardening, devouring mysteries and historical fiction, and indulging in cheesecake-because life is too short to skip dessert. I have three adult children and have embraced my role as grandma to their ever-growing collection of furbabies.
