Kathryn Lane writes mystery and suspense novels usually set in foreign countries. In her award-winning Nikki Garcia Mystery Series, her protagonist is a private investigator based in Miami who travels extensively to investigate crime cases. Her latest novel, Murder in Monte Carlo, is set in Italy and Monaco.

Her stand-alone novel, Stolen Diary, is an award-winning coming-of-age novel about Jasmin, a socially awkward math genius.
Kathryn’s short story collection, Backyard Volcano and Other Mysteries of the Heart, is also an award-winner. It relates stories set in Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico.

Kathryn and her husband, Bob Hurt, reside in Texas. They often travel for Kathryn to gather information and to do research for her novels.

A mystery from my own life! I'd have to write a whole series to cover all my mysteries!!!
Why would a young woman leave a comfortable position in Mexico to move to the U.S. and struggle to support herself and her young son. I think that would make a great novel.
Let me know if you have other questions!
