BIO: Cathryn Lyons loves novels. Seriously loves them. Especially romance. This includes reading (often devouring) them…and writing spicy contemporary romance novels of her own. She has been writing since before she could even properly hold a pen. She is happily married to her real-life MMC and they share three sons and the world’s best and derpiest rescue Golden Retriever (from Turkey!). She is a lifelong Marylander, but wonders if her short stint in London counts as being cosmopolitan (the attribute, not the drink; although those are quite delicious). Cathryn fills her creative bucket by writing steamy stories she hopes bring as much joy, laughter, escapism…and sexy feelings…that she herself has experienced through the gift of others’ words. She hopes you love her stories, and welcomes hearing from you.
