Kristi Gold

After seven years of starts and stops, Kristi Gold saw the release of her first book, Cowboy for Keeps, in 2000 and has since written over twenty-fiveHarlequin and Silhouette books. A classic seat-of-the-pants author, she attributes her ability to write quickly to a burning need to see how thestory ends. Kristi has found inspiration for her books in a variety of places - from hot air balloon races to song lyrics - but composing stories thatfocus on the joy of falling in love is always her goal. She firmly believesthat perseverance, some luck, a sense of humor and a continued love of thecraft leads to success.

On the non-writing front, Kristi is an avid baseball fan, a Tex-Mexfoodaholic, a quotations junkie and a beach bum wannabe. Her dream vacationinvolves spending a summer in an Italian villa on the Amalfi coast, and hereclectic taste in music runs from classical to country, and everything inbetween. Kristi currently resides in Central Texas with her retiredphysician husband, her three dogs and the occasional guest in the form ofone of her three grown children.
