Kay Stewart was born in Lubbock, Texas, and studied at Texas Technological College (now Texas Tech University) and the University of Oregon before moving to Canada. After having taught literature and writing courses in various colleges and universities, she took early retirement from the University of Alberta to devote her time to writing. She is the author of the Danutia Dranchuk mystery series (A Deadly Little List, Sitting Lady Sutra, Unholy Rites, and Tour de Mort). Three of these were co-written with husband Chris Bullock, and they are still married! Kay has also co-authored two writing textbooks and published short stories and personal essays. http://kaystewart.ca/
