Kathryn Caskie
Kathryn Caskie was interviewed for BookCast by Fairfax County Public Library Director Sam Clay.
Kathryn Caskie is a former magazine editor, TV producer, and copywriter for radio and TV commercials. She began writing romances when her family moved to a 200-year-old Quaker home in the Virginia Blue Ridge and Caskie became interested in 19th-century history.
Her debut novel, Rules of Engagement, won the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award for Best Long Historical Romance Manuscript. Her novels, including Lady in Waiting, A Lady's Guide to Rakes, Love Is in the Heir and How to Seduce a Duke, can be checked out of the Fairfax County Public Library.
Caskie began her career as an author while still a child. She wrote "dime novels" and sold them to her friends for 10 cents - the cost of a Good Humor strawberry popsicle at the time.
Last summer, Caskie was the featured cover story in the July 2006 issue of Romantic Times Book Reviews. In April 2006, she was one of several romance writers featured in a Washington Post article on the genre.
