Kathy Douglass
BIOGRAPHY

Kathy is a born reader who as a child always had her nose in a book. She went from reading Bobbsey Twins to romance novels. One day she stumbled upon The Shining by Stephen King and was hooked on horror. When she caught herself checking under the bed and looking in the closet for monsters, she knew it was time to put down the horror and return to romance novels.

Her return was short-lived. She started law school and soon her reading was limited to legal opinions. Then she discovered Harlequin romances. They were short enough to read in a week and she wouldn't have to search her room before she went to sleep.

When her first child was born, she became a stay at home mom. Her second child soon followed, and reading was limited to children's books.

All too soon her kids were attending pre-school. Kathy spent those hours renewing her relationship with romance novels. Soon she felt the urge to write the stories she wanted to read. In 2016, Kathy sold to Harlequin. Her first book, How to Steal the Lawman's Heart, was released in February, 2017. Since then, she has released several more books with Harlequin.

Kathy Douglass Interview On 07, Apr 2022

"As a child who always had her nose in a book, Kathy Douglass went from reading Bobbsey Twins to romance novels. She was born and raised on the south side of Chicago. She wanted to become a lawyer. She stopped practicing law to become a stay-at-home mom. She writes sweet, small-town contemporary romances. She likes to watch sports on TV and work out."
Tell us a little bit about your life growing up.

I am one of six children. I was born and raised on the south side of Chicago. My parents were readers and there were books all around the house. I can remember “finding” books on the dining room table, living room couch, or on the piano bench. There was a library a few blocks from my home and my mother used to take us there on Saturdays.

Did you know at an early age that you wanted to be an author?

No. I wanted to become a lawyer, which I did. I didn’t start writing until my children were born.

Do you remember the first children's book your read?

Yes. It was Frederick Douglass Freedom Fighter by Lillie Patterson. My parents and older siblings read to me, but this is the first book I remember reading on my own.

When you're not writing or reading, what are some other things you like to do to pass the time?

I like to watch sports on TV and workout.

How did you go from reading Bobbsey Twins to romance novels?

First, I grew up and grew out of the Bobbsey Twins. Those books are great for kids, but not so much for teenagers. So my interest changed. I started reading romance when I picked up one of my older sister’s books. I don’t recall the title, but after a few chapters I was hooked. Then I started borrowing her books on a regular basis. She had a lot of romances and there was also the public library, so I never ran out of books to read.

What challenges did you face while writing your first book, How to Steal the Lawman's Heart?

It was hard to find the time to write. My kids were young and had very busy schedules which meant I had a very busy schedule. I also was struggling with my confidence. I had submitted several books which had been rejected, so I had the fear that the same fate might await this book, too.

Which book took the longest to write in the Sweet Briar Sweethearts series?

The Single Mom’s Second Chance took the longest to write for a couple of reasons. First, when I was writing it, I was also doing revisions on my earlier books, so I had to put it down and pick it up again. Second, Roz’s story was a bit difficult to tell. She was a widowed mom and was also battling cancer. I wanted to make sure to get the details right and to get the tone of the story correct.

Who inspired the character of Arden Wexford in "The Waitress's Secret"?

Arden, like all of my characters, was completely fictional and not based upon a real person. Her physical appearance was inspired by Rihanna.

After publishing your book, "Redemption on Rivers Ranch", were you satisfied with your work, or did you find yourself wishing you'd done more or added or taken something out?

When I finish a book, I’m done with it. I know that there are things that could be different, but once it’s in print it’s too late to change anything, so I don’t think about it. The only time I open the book after it is done is when I am looking for quotes for promotion.

Would you say that your life has changed much after becoming an author?

Not really. I have the same friends and the same interests as before.

Do you have a specific schedule for writing or do you just write whenever and wherever the inspiration strikes?

I have a specific schedule. If I waited for inspiration, I wouldn’t get any writing done. I set a daily word count goal and then sit down and write until I reach it. Some days the words come more easily than others, and I’m grateful for those days. Other days the writing is hard, but that’s were discipline comes in.

What are some of your goals or what are some things you hope to accomplish through your books?

I hope that people enjoy my books. I hope that something that I wrote will touch the readers and make them smile.

How did you discover Harlequin romances?

I discovered Harlequin romances when I was in law school. Law school was grueling. There was so much reading and writing involved and I had very little free time. But I still wanted to read when I had a chance. My younger sister had a lot of Harlequin romances which were just what I needed. They were the perfect length. But although they were shorter than the single titles I had previously read, they had great characters, interesting plots and lots of emotion. And of course as romances, they always ended happily.

How many plot ideas are just waiting to be written? Can you tell us about one?

Right now, I’m working on a second chance romance. Second chance is one of my favorite tropes to write. After that, we’ll just have to wait and see what idea comes to me next.

What was your first impression of AllAuthor? Have your thoughts changed much since?

My first impression of AllAuthor was that they do a great job of promoting on Twitter. I’m still discovering more about the site. I am happy with what I’ve seen so far.
