Katherine Garbera is an award-winning, best-selling author for Harlequin and Silhouette books. Garbera started making up stories for her own benefit when she was on a competitive swim team in high school. Though she went to State and usually medaled at swim meets, Katherine says her heart wasn't in swimming but rather in the stories she created as she swam laps at practice. Katherine holds a red belt in the martial art of Tae Kwon Do and vows that there's not a piece of plywood out there that can take her in a fair match!
