Kathye's book Ineligible Bachelor was inspired by the TV series The Bachelor. Ineligible Bachelor was a runaway hit, making the Amazon Top 100 list and is sold internationally. The story gives her readers a look into what might be happening behind the scenes of the TV show.

Book 3, The Bachelor's Agenda, explores the dark side of politics. First-term U.S. Senator Lance Michaels wants to keep his re-election campaign separate from his high school reunion.

Her all-time favorite series is the Grandmother's Rings series inspired by her family's birth stones. Tess Archer has decided she wants grandchildren. One problem—none of her three children are married nor even looking for love at the moment. She hands each of them one of their grandmother's rings and tells them the rings will help them find their soulmates. With a little Voodoo power of suggestion, she may get to wear the GiGi shirt she bought and soon.

The series begins with Amethyst (February's birthstone/Kathye's mother). Because the stone is said to promote calmness, Tess gives it to her oldest, Somer. When Somer, a local reporter, meets Nick, a New York City police office on loan to the local police department, they clash like a cobra and a mongoose. When they find they can't solve the rise in home invasions without each other, they reluctantly become partners. Partners in crime, or more serious, partners for life?

In Sapphire (September's birthstone/Kathye's sister), the next book in the series, Somer's brother Trent is not too happy to participate in her and Nick's wedding. He is paired with Linda, Nick's NYPD partner. They start out as rivals, each ready to one-up the other at every turn and sparks fly—competitive and passionate sparks. When Linda goes back to New York, Trent admits that she just might be the one he's been looking for. He follows her, intent on making Linda see that not only can a tough lady police officer be an asset, but she can also be a wife. Sapphire was a National Readers Choice finalist.

Citrine (November's birthstone/Kathye's and her father's) is the last book in the series. The youngest of the three siblings, Ali, is the last one standing determined not to let Grandmother's ring get her. First, she has to attend her nephew's baptism and face the whole family, including the recently engaged Trent and Linda. Following dinner later that evening, Ali retreats to the backyard and finds another deserter, Jake Daultry, Nick's cousin. He's a Blackhawk helicopter pilot, who joined the family festivities on his way home to enjoy a 30-day leave. He and Ali, a self-proclaimed peace activist like her mother, clash in a contest of wills that ends in a kiss on the front porch hot enough to melt any cold war.

As Jake gets ready to return to his unit, Ali discovers he's taking her heart along with him. Can the peace activist and the soldier find some neutral territory in order to follow their hearts or will Ali and Jake just have to settle for some combat wounds that may never heal?

Kathye's debut historical romance Daughters of the Moon, has been heralded as a flawless glimpse into the world of the ancient Greeks.

King Arthur and his knights have fascinated Kathye ever since she saw the first episode of The Adventures of Sir Lancelot on a black and white television way back when she was a little girl. The dashing William Russell as Sir Lancelot stole her heart and swept her away to a time when "In days of old, when knights were bold, the stories told of Sir Lancelot." From that day on, she began writing her own tales of knights and their ladies. Her Beyond Camelot— Brother Knights series began with the release of Cynthia and Constantine and continues with Braeden and Janne. The third and final book, Reynar, the Warlord's Honor is temporarily on hold due to other contractual commitments, but Kathye hopes to finish writing it soon.

While writing romances has been her dream for many years, the book of Kathye's heart is a non-fiction work entitled, Hi Mom, How Are Things in Heaven, developed after the death of her mother and deals with coping with grief though humor. She hopes to finish this soon too.

Kathye originally wanted to be President of the United States or an Organic Chemist, but somehow life got in the way and she got married right out of high school and had a set of twins two years later. The Presidency seemed out of reach and night school to get her Ph.D. to create new molecule that would ultimately result in the betterment of humankind seemed a little time-consuming while trying to raise three children, so she decided to write instead.

Now with three grown sons all having adventures of their own, one granddaughter and one grandson; she finally has time to get all those stories out of her head and down on paper. She is a die-hard New Jersey Devils and a New York Giants football fan. Kathye recently retired from thirty years wtih Somerset County government (as close as she could get to the White House) and is plotting a novel about a new molecule that will ultimately result in the betterment of humandkind.
