About the author
Katherine D. Jones
10 books6 followersThe author of contemporary African-American romance novels, Katherine D. Jones used to say she began writing to keep her sanity.

"Finally, it occurred to me that if I wrote, I could throw myself into my own project," she wrote on her Web site, www.katherinedjones.com.
Since 2004, six of her romances have been published: "Undercover Lover," "Worth the Wait," "Love Worth Fighting For," "Deep Down," "Cuffed by Candlelight" and "Dangerous Dilemmas."

Kari Jones said her sister had doubts about making a difference. "But she was because she wrote positive images of African-American couples and strong women," she said.
In response to questions by fans, Jones said on her Web site that she preferred to write romance novels "because no matter what your hero and heroine go through, it will work out perfectly. Unlike real life when things happen that make no sense and often times there is no happy ending, my novels are full of drama, but also most importantly hope."
