Extremely happy to have Laura Kaye with us today!!! Welcome!
HARD AS IT GETS is one steamy read! How did
you first get into writing?
Thanks so much! And thanks for having me here! I've been
a writer all my life. I’m a historian by training, so writing non-fiction was a
part of my job for the fifteen years I worked as a college professor. But I
started writing fiction in 2008 in kind of an unusual way. I hit my head on
July 4, 2008. I didn’t think much of it that day, but soon after I realized I’d
really hurt myself, and it turned out I had a minor traumatic brain injury. As
I recovered, I was filled with an amazing urge to be creative, so I started
taking guitar lessons (still not very good at that!) and wrote my first novel
in 12 weeks (fortunately, I’m better at that LOL!). The experience of writing
that first book was truly transformative. It was what I was supposed to be
doing, so I revised that book until it sold and kept writing new ones. And I
haven’t looked back since!
