Kathleen Delaney raised five children, which gave her a late start as an author, but she has five mystery novels in print and is working on the first in a new series. She has been a real estate broker on California’s central coast, the setting for the Ellen McKenzie books. She has bred and shown Arabian and half Arabian horses, loves to cook, garden, travel and, of course, read. She currently resides in Georgia, where she lives with her dog and cat and can see two of her grandchildren regularly.
