Kay Lyons Stockham has been writing romance since childhood — she famously rewrote a Charlie Brown story as a kid because she didn’t like how it ended. Her first published novel came out in 2005 under the Kay Stockham name through Harlequin Enterprises, and it hit number seven on the national bestseller list. She has since been nominated for the RITA Award, the HOLT Medallion, and the Book Buyers Best Award, with over a million books in print.
Her stories tend to center on second chances, family ties, and ordinary people finding love in small communities. Many of her series are set in fictional Montana and Tennessee towns, and she has a recurring interest in cowboys, ranchers, and single parents navigating life alongside an unexpected romance. Her sweet Kay Lyons titles are closed-door; her Ivy James books turn up the heat a notch or two.
She currently lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, which shows up in the coastal settings of her Seaside Sisters and Carolina Cove series. With 25 series across multiple pen names, readers new to her work often start with the Tulanes of Tennessee or Stone River, which are among her most beloved small-town romance series.
