Speaker bios:

Catherine "K" Sellers
Texas native Catherine Sellers was always a day dreamer. Never in her wildest dreams did she think of writing a book, until one day working at a very boring job with time on her hands, she had finished reading another romantic novel. Thinking, "That was nice, but I'd have had the heroine..." she picked up a pen and started writing.
.... That was 1983; she kept writing, submitted her work, got rejected.
.... Took writing classes, submitted her work, got rejected. ....................
.... Joined writers' groups, submitted her work, got rejected.
.... But Catherine Sellers was determined. Her first novel, ALWAYS, was published in 1990, followed by RAINBOWS & LOVE SONGS and FAIR WARNING (a spin-off of ALWAYS). After taking a few years off to help her husband of 35 years start his own business, SUDDENLY LOVE, came out October, 2001, from LionHearted Publishing.
