Kathryn Taylor, also known as Kathryn Attalla, Kat Attalla, and Kathy Attalla, is a contemporary romance and fiction author of German extraction. From a young age, Kathryn had a knack for telling stories, although her mother would often call her a liar due to her made-up tales. However, Kathryn believes that those stories helped her hone her skills, which she now utilizes in writing her novels. Initially, Kathryn was a reader before becoming a writer, having discovered romance novels during her teenage years. She also had a strong desire to explore the world, which she satisfied by reading about far-off places before deciding to live in some of them. Over the years, she has resided in culturally diverse locations, including Cairo, Egypt, and Athens, Greece. It was in Cairo where she met her future husband, and after getting married, they relocated to the small town of Sterling Forest in New York to start a family.
Kathryn's writing career began as a hobby after her husband suggested she try writing to fill her time while taking care of their newborn child. She started writing as a way to pass the time, but it soon became an obsession and passion that her husband sometimes regrets suggesting. Kathryn learned how to write by reading the works of other authors, particularly those who wrote romance novels that she loved. Although her writing allows her mind to soar in clouds, she has a daughter who keeps her feet firmly planted on the ground. She signs her novels as Kathryn Taylor, Kathryn Attalla, Kathy Attalla, and Kat Attalla.
