Katherine Bayless writes paranormal fantasy and romance for fun and occasional profit. When she isn't adventuring vicariously through her stories, Katherine indulges her varied crafting addictions, which include silversmithing, sewing, wool felting, card making, and slaying nail enhancements for herself and her daughter. But come the end of day, you'll frequently find her battling the minions of the Absolute while adventuring through western Faerûn with her tiefling, high-elf, githyanki, and half-elf companions.

In her lifetime, she has moved more times than she can count, calling California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Nevada, and Arizona home at one time or another. She currently lives happily in the American Southwest amid stately saguaros, volcanic summers, and glorious sunsets with her patient husband and two ridiculous corgis whose barking causes hearing damage at ten paces, especially when their archnemesis Zeke, the carpet-clawing commando, dares to disturb an air molecule.
