A native of the South, currently resides in North Central Florida. KatLyn’s is a simple philosophy: “I love strong-minded women who have a desire to refine the attitudes of the world with subtle words and an astute sense of direction without feeling the need to censure those opposed to their views. After all, it’s those very closed-minded attitudes that made this biased world what it is today.”

Her debut novel, Storm Surge, is a heart-pounding thriller with non-stop action and romance. It is about two strong-minded women, who have fought hard to overcome the historical restrictions of their careers and the heartbreaking realities of their lives. Alex Montgomery, an FBI Agent and Conner Harris, a Jacksonville Police Officer, find their lives and careers intertwined in a thrilling tale of murder and betrayal. When their world becomes uncertain the only things they can count on is each other.

She makes her home in Gainesville, Florida. When she’s not writing, KatLyn can be found spending time with her family and friends or indulging in her passion for playing the guitar and writing musical compositions.

FBI Special Agent Alex Montgomery would have given her life in the line of duty, but she lost something far more precious when she became the target of ruthless drug traffickers. Recalled to Jacksonville to aid the local authorities in infiltrating the same deadly drug ring, she has a secret agenda--revenge. Despite her unexpected involvement with Conner Harris, a tough, streetwise detective who has dedicated her life to her job at the cost of her own personal happiness, Alex vows to let nothing--and no one--stand in the way of exacting vengeance on those who took from her everything that mattered.

In the all new, revised edition of Storm Surge, these two driven women discover that even in the midst of danger, murder, and betrayal, there is one force even more powerful than duty and retribution--the connection forged by the human heart. Follow Alex and Connor in this thrilling action tale as they seek justice and the promise of a future where love might one day be found.
