Author: Kathryn Lynn Davis
Alternate names: Davis Kathryn Lynn
Bio: Kathryn Lynn Davis has deep roots in Riverside, Calif. Indeed, she was born and raised in Riverside and she continues to live here with her photographer husband, Michael J. Elderman (who in addition to running his own gallery on Lemon Street, also works as a contract photographer for The City of Riverside). 

Kathryn has written eight novels, including At the Wind's Edge, Child of Awe, Sing to Me of Dreams, and The New York Times Bestseller, Too Deep for Tears. Her work has also appeared in the anthology, Mother: Famous Writers Celebrate Motherhood with a Treasury of Short Stories, Essays, and Poems. 

Some may write in the hopes of making their readers laugh, but I suspect Kathryn would rather make her readers cry. She has a deep and abiding love for words; for her characters who have it in their hearts to live honorably and truthfully, such that by the end you want to share in their lives; and for the wild, gorgeous country they inhabit.
