It's Good to be Back . . .

Incredibly, over a decade has passed since my last novel, His Fair Lady, saw the light of print and made its way onto bookshelves nationwide.  Happily, Lady enjoyed a successful run, capturing The Golden Quill Award before disappearing into the secondary market. Meanwhile, owing to exhaustion and the inescapable upheavals that ever accompany life, I decided to take a bit of a break.  Never did I dream, or intend for my little sabbatical to turn into an eleven-year walkabout!

Technology, of course, exploded during that time, opening new doors and possibilities to writers as never before.   I confess, at first, I resisted the idea of bringing out my back list in digital format, or of adding new titles in that realm.  But, as my octogenarian father and my eldest son, Scott, blazed the Indie trail right past me (with considerable success!) — and with my family’s continued encouragement and support, especially that of my husband — I’ve decided to pick up my pen, get off the sidelines, and join in the fun.

And so, I’m back.  And very happy to be, I might add, for there are characters and stories buzzing in my head, longing to be set free and take wing. 

Please enjoy browsing my new Kathleen Kirkwood Historicals website.  It's still under construction and content will continue to be updated.  Click on any of the covers that appear on the right and they will take you to a page devoted exclusively to that novel.
