About the Author

Kathy Herman
Kathy Herman is the bestselling author of 13 novels, including the Baxter series, Poor Mrs. Rigsby, and the Seaport Suspense novels. Her thought-provoking stories are ordinary enough to be believable and extraordinary enough to stick with the reader long after the cover is closed. Kathy and her husband, Paul, live in East Texas and have three grown children and five grandchildren. They enjoy world travel, deep-sea fishing, and bird watching—sometimes incorporating all three into one big adventure! More by Kathy Herman
