Kathy Clark has always been a storyteller. She published her first book when she was just four years old...okay, it was self-published (way ahead of the trend). The Little Black Horse That Ran Away was self-illustrated and completely sold out of its first printing (one copy to her mother). Years later, Kathy's first official book was published by Dell. Since then, she had a total of 23 novels published by Dell, Crown and Harlequin and 9 novels self-published on Amazon.com. The freedom to be creative and experiment with ideas and genres has made self-publishing an amazing process. She writes a contemporary adult romantic suspense series called Denver After Dark, and with her husband, Bob Wernly, she writes a new adult series called Scandals and a young adult series called CUL8R (See You Later). The books from these series have been honored with numerous awards including Best Indie Book of the Year, Reader's Favorite Award and Colorado Humanities Awards. Kathy and Bob recently signed a 6 book contract with Random House for their Loveswept line with the first two books in the Denver Heroes series coming out in June, 2015. The third of the series will be out in August, then the new Austin Heroes series will be published in 2016.To be perfectly honest, Kathy and Bob would rather be riding horses or sitting on a sandy beach than writing, but the characters in her head insist that she tell their stories, just like that little black horse so long ago.
