Kathryn Long’s passion is writing mysteries, creating the intricate details and weaving them into the clues which the reader will enjoy collecting to solve the crime. However, she’s worn many hats over the years – bookseller, teacher, mom, wife, and author.

To date, readers can find her self-published cozy Lilly M Mysteries, and her traditionally published work, romantic suspense, A Deadly Deed Grows, traditional mystery Buried in Sin, and cozy mystery Boarding with Murder at online retailers.
As Bailee Abbott, she writes the Paint by Murder Mysteries. A Brush with Murder will release October 12, 2021.

Kathryn lives in the City of Green located in northeast Ohio with her husband and little pooch, Max.

Quotes by Kathryn Long  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Some days I hated my life. Turning forty, pre-menopausal migraines, single, gaining ten pounds in six months, not to mention having three, sometimes overbearing mothers, and an editor with no compassion.
On the other hand, I had Kline, sort of, and there was my career, or what was left of it. I had a dog that idolized me, even if no one else did, and a house of my own. Those pluses should sustain me through my crises. So now, I would go home and write. It's what I do. -- Lilly Millenovanovich”
Kathryn Long, Whips, Cuffs, and Little Brown Boxes
