Kelly Cain is a native Northern Californian but has spent the last couple of decades in Texas, currently residing in the live music capital of the world, Austin. Consequently, most of her books are set somewhere between those two locations.

Kelly writes multicultural romance with determined women directing their own fates, and the swoon-worthy men who adore them. She loves reading most genres but please don’t ask her to pick just one. However, she can pick her favorite book boyfriend – Will Herondale.

When she isn’t reading or writing, Kelly is most likely using a genealogy site to research her extended family, both old and new. Or cooking/baking something delightful.

She has two adult daughters, and a new granddaughter.

I was in law school at some point and did meet an 18 or 19-year-old who'd already graduated with a degree in engineering (I believe his was chemical though). We were friends, but didn't hang out when we weren't at school. I also had a fiance and some of those scenarios are similar to what happened, but not exact by any means.

There are some of my family members that are near to characters in the story. Both Janine and Chloe are based on cousins although none of those scenarios ever happened.

Most of the places in the story are real places I've been. I went to school in Houston (including TSU mentioned in the book), grew up in Stockton, and my mom's family is indeed from Austin, and several members still live there.

There may be other similarities here and there, but all have been fictionalized including what I mentioned above.(less)

I usually take a walk or read and my head clears. I think the key is to make sure and try to write something each day, it can always be revised later.(less)
