edit data

Kennedy Layne is a USA Today bestselling author. She draws inspiration for her romantic thrillers in part from her not-so-secret second life as a wife of a retired Marine Master Sergeant. He doubles as her critique partner, beta reader, and military consultant. Kennedy also has a deep love for cozy mysteries, thrillers, and basically any book that can keep her guessing until the very end. They live in the Midwest with their menagerie of pets. The loyal dogs and mischievous cats appreciate her writing days as much as she does, usually curled up in front of the fireplace.

Kennedy Layne answered Faye Bevan's question: Can I ask why the narrator changed for the audio books? Hi Faye, Thanks for reaching out to me! Are you referring to the Paramour Bay Mysteries?

Kennedy Layne answered Heather Baker's question: I can only find the first 13 books as audiobooks. Have the rest been made into audiobooks? I use Libby, a library app. I have about 8 different libraries that I can connect to and listen to audiobooks while I work. But I'm missing over half of this collection. I'd love to listen to the rest if I can. Can you help? Hi Heather, Thank you so much for your message! I am slowly rolling out the entire series, but it does take some time. As soon as the additional audios are available to be published, I will make an announcement on social media. Thanks, Kennedy
