Katie Lane's love for writing started in fifth grade when her teacher had her write a short story using the point of view of an inanimate object. Katie chose a large skirt that was owned by a skinny woman--which, of course, resulted in some underwear showing. When the entire class laughed at her tale, Katie was hooked. She spent the rest of her childhood writing down her humorous stories in spiral notebooks. But then came high school, and her writing took a backseat to hormones and boys--or one particular boy. It wasn't until after she was married and her two exceptional daughters were grown that she returned to writing and, eventually, achieved her dream of becoming a published author.Katie Lane is the USA Today bestselling author of the Deep in the Heart of Texas and Hunk for the Holiday series. Katie lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and when she isn't writing, enjoys reading, going to the gym, golfing, traveling, or just snuggling next to her high school sweetheart and cairn terrier Roo.
