Kathleen Marple Kalb grew up in front of a microphone and a keyboard. Now a weekend morning anchor at 1010 WINS New York, she started as a teenage DJ in Brookville, Pennsylvania. She worked her way up through newsrooms in Pittsburgh, Vermont and Connecticut, developing her skills and a deep and abiding distaste for snow. While she wrote her first (thankfully unpublished) historical novel at age sixteen, fiction was firmly in the past until her son started kindergarten. After two years of querying, three failed projects and 200+ rejections, she's now the author of the Ella Shane historical mystery series for Kensington Books, and soon, as Nikki Knight, LIVE, LOCAL, AND DEAD, a Vermont Radio Mystery from Crooked Lane. Her story "Bad Apples" was an Honorable Mention in the 2021 Black Orchid Novella Award contest. She, her husband, and son live in a Connecticut house owned by their cat.
