Kathryn Lane is the award-winning author of the Nikki Garcia Mystery Series and the standalone novel, Stolen Diary.
 
In her writing, she draws inspiration from her experiences growing up in a small town in Mexico as well as her work and travel in over ninety countries around the globe during her international finance career with Johnson & Johnson.
 
Kathryn loves the Arts. Her passions are writing, doing research for her novels, and reading. In her spare time, she visits museums, listens to lectures, or cooks. For this latter activity, she constantly invents new recipes. Over dinner, Kathryn and her husband, Bob Hurt, like to discuss the books they are reading that week.

Kathryn and Bob split their time between Texas and the mountains of northern New Mexico where she finds it inspiring to write.
