Kathi Reed was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., reared in Queens, N.Y. and Briarcliff Manor in Westchester County. She attended Lasell College in the Boston area, and worked in New York City at The New Yorker Magazine, Time-Life, and Random House. After she moved to Cincinnati, she owned a video/music store, worked as a sales rep for a video distributor, and worked as a mortgage loan officer. Even though she'd been writing on and off all her life, she decided it was time write a book – mostly because time was moving faster than her.
