Kilby Blades is a multi-award-winning author of smart, contemporary romantic fiction. A digital marketer by day, by night she writes dynamic characters out of tantalizingly complex predicaments. Through a mix of dry wit and blatant humor, her unforgettable plots are peppered with colorful characters and witty repartee. Critics laud her "feminist romance", noting empowered heroines and multi-dimensional heroes who are their partners’ loudest cheerleaders.
Kilby is also the author of Marketing Steamy Romance, a specialized guide designed to help writers of erotic romance to transcend restrictive policies pertaining to explicit content. When she's not writing, Kilby goes to movie matinees alone, where she eats Chocolate Pocky and buttered popcorn and usually smuggles in not-a-little-bit of red wine. Kilby is a mother, a social-justice fighter, and above all else, a glutton for a good story.
