Kate McMurray writes smart romantic fiction. She likes creating stories that are brainy, funny, and, of course, sexy, with regular-guy characters and urban sensibilities. She advocates for romance stories by and for everyone. When she's not writing, she edits textbooks, watches baseball, plays violin, crafts things out of yarn, and wears a lot of cute dresses. She's active in Romance Writers of America, serving for two years on the board of Rainbow Romance Writers, the LGBT romance chapter, and three--including two as president--on the board of the New York City chapter.
