Caitlyn O’Leary is a successful and accomplished author, with several prestigious accolades to her name. She is a Golden Quill Recipient from Book Viral in the year 2015, a USA Bestselling Author, and a number one Amazon Bestselling Author. These achievements are even more impressive considering that she has dyslexia, which made reading and writing a challenge for her when she was young. However, with the help of her grandmother, who was an English teacher, she overcame her difficulties and developed a love for reading and writing.
O’Leary’s love for reading began when she was young, and she would memorize books before she could actually read them. Once her grandmother taught her how to read, she never stopped. She would re-write alternate endings for her Trixie Belden books, turning them into happily-ever-afters with Trixie’s platonic friend Jim. She also read the entire set of World Book Encyclopedias when she was home with pneumonia at the age of twelve.
As an author, O’Leary is known for her romantic suspense novels that feature strong heroines and Alpha males who keep each other on their toes. Her books are not only entertaining but also tackle some of today’s relevant and tough issues. She is a devoted aunt, an avid reader, a former corporate executive for a Fortune 100 company, and is totally in love with her husband of soon-to-be twenty years. She recently moved back home to the Pacific Northwest from Southern California and is happy to see the seasons again, even if it means dealing with rain, rain and more rain.
O’Leary has a large fan group on Facebook and through her e-mail list, and she loves connecting with her fans on a daily basis. She is known for sharing her “Caitlyn Factors,” where she talks about her little and big life’s screw-ups. Her list is long, and her fans love hearing about her experiences and connecting with her on a personal level.
