American romance novelist and lifelong Nebraska resident, Cindy Kirk came to writing through a community college class and has published more than a hundred novels, first with Harlequin Special Edition and later independently. Her books are set in recurring small towns that give her series their names — Jackson Hole, Good Hope, GraceTown, Silver Creek — where country doctors, reunions and second chances are her usual ground. She is a USA Today bestseller and has won the Holt Medallion and the Booksellers' Best Award.
