Kathy Brandt
Bio
Kathy Brandt is originally from Illinois, but now lives in the mountains of Colorado. She earned both a B.A. in English and an M.A. in Rhetoric and Composition. She taught writing at the University of Colorado for ten years. In addition to her mystery novels, she has had published numerous articles in national magazines (including Women's Sports and Fitness, Complete Woman, Sailing, Yachting, Heartland Boating, and Scouting Magazine). In addition to writing, Kathy works as a licensed massage therapist.
Kathy and her husband (a marine biology professor) have been sailing and scuba diving for over 18 years, and they spend a month or two each year in the Caribbean. It's not surprising then that she chose the Caribbean as the setting for her mystery novels. She hopes to educate as well as entertain with her books, which explains the interesting environmental themes that are present in her books.
She is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and the Pike's Peak Writers.
