Kay Finch is a successful American author, renowned for her mystery novels. She is best known for her Bad Luck Cat Mysteries series and has also authored several other works, including the Corie McKenna Mystery and Klutter Killer mystery series. Finch was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but her love for Texas led her to move there as soon as she could. She has since made Texas her home, living near Houston with her husband and a menagerie of rescue pets, which include cats and dogs.
Finch's love for mystery stories began in her childhood, and she would often write her own stories. However, it wasn't until she became a defense attorney that she considered turning her passion into a profession. Her legal work provided her with a wealth of story ideas, and she eventually became a full-time writer. Finch is a member of various professional organizations, including Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and the State Bar of Texas Paralegal Division.
In addition to her Pennsylvania roots, Finch has a deep connection to Texas, which is reflected in her writing. Many of her novels are set in the scenic regions of South and Central Texas, and she has a particular fondness for the Texas Hill Country, where her Bad Luck Cat mysteries are set. Finch's love for cats is also evident in her writing, with ill-omened tomcats featuring prominently in her novels. Despite her success as a writer, Finch remains humble and approachable, and she continues to be an active member of the writing community, inspiring and mentoring aspiring writers.
