I write contemporary fiction under the name K.D. Hays. The K.D. is pretty obvious. The "Hays" is my grandmother's maiden name, which our family liked so much that we used it for my sister's and daughter's middle names. And now I'm using it again!

The Karen Maxwell Mysteries

George Washington Stepped Here

Worth Its Weight in Old

Karen Maxwell, a divorced mother of two, is struggling to balance her life as a soccer mom with her neeed to have a life of her own. After working as a bookkeeper in her brother's private investigation firm for years, she finally gets the chance to go undercover and handle a case on her own. Her first assignment is to find out who has stolen the local historical society's greatest treasure. Along the way she makes some new friends, one of whom is very attractive, unmarried, and unfortunately a prime suspect in the case.

Both books will initially be released as part of the HP Presents Mystery Book Club, with placement in bookstores to follow some months later.

Children's projects

My kids have always been avid readers, so I thought I would right something for them. I'm working on two books right now that are aimed for the grade school audience, and one of them is actually a joint project that I'm writing with my daughter. I'll post more details later, but since these books have a contemporary setting, I imagine they will be published under the K.D. Hays name.
