With over twenty years of horse ownership and Endurance riding to her credit, Kasey Riley (Kim) brings a wealth of knowledge to her novels. Her love of the trail, outdoors, and rural living give color and vibrancy to her books. This realism has drawn many readers to her novels. She strives to make readers see through the eyes of her characters and imagine themselves enmeshed in the plot along with them. The fictional town of Riverview, Colorado is the setting for her stories. The town is full of characters, each with a story to tell or who may become either victim or villain. Small town, rural living brings them together and the rugged Colorado countryside creates the backdrop for the action. Her first two novels are mysteries with romances building around them and the third is a romance, which uses suspense to draw the couple together as they strive to stay alive. She plans on each book being a stand-alone novel that can be read in any sequence without the reader missing details of the story. Her mind sees every news article as a possible story plot for the people in Riverview to endure and every trail ride as a possible setting for the next crime or mystery. Needless to say, she loves the alone time on the trail to work her way through the next plot and create new characters. When not writing or riding, she enjoys reading a wide variety of genre novels and sounding out new plots on her husband of 40+ years. Together, they care for a large assortment of animals on their 13 acre hobby farm in Southeastern Oklahoma.
