A member of New Jersey Romances Writers for thirteen years, Kathye Quick loves to write. She has held numerous positions within NJRW since joining, including President (1992 and 2001), Vice President, Hospitality Chair, Volunteer Chair, Conference Chair (1998) and Secretary.

Fascinated with myths and legends since childhood, it was only natural that one day Kathye would write DAUGHTERS OF THE MOON, a historical romance that blends the captivating myths of the Greek Gods and Goddesses with the rich history of ancient Greece and a July 2003 release for Wings e-Press. DAUGHTERS OF THE MOON is the story of Alliya and Artemis whose love defied both the gods and the laws to change the course of the world.

“WINGS ePRESS, INC. is the prefect combination of computer and print books for today’s sophisticated reader. Since DAUGHTERS OF THE MOON will appeal to a wide audience with a wide range of reading habits in a variety of genres, WINGS ePRESS, INC. is the perfect publisher through which I can share this exciting story. From the highly developed computer user who now thinks paper is a thing of the past, to the traditional print reader; this story has a home on both playing fields.”

Kathye Quick lives in Manville with her son, Jarrett, who currently attends New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire where he studying Business Management. She also has a set of twin sons. Scott lives in Arizona with his wife Lisa, and Mark is a Corrections Officer and lives in Washington, NJ. She works for county government, and secretly dreams of winning the Pulitzer Prize to allow her to write full-time.

She attributes contributes her love of writing to her high school journalism teacher, Paul Burst, who selected her as the editor of the Middlesex High School Newspaper (the Blue Print) during her junior and senior years. And she’s been writing ever since.

She has been published in Women’s Magazines, has written a weekly column entitled “A Quick Look Around” for a local newspaper, has worked as a stringer for a regional New Jersey Newspaper, and writes speeches for local and state political figures. She has contributed a short story to Romance Recipes for the Soul, published in the fall of 1999.

In addition, Avalon Books, a Division of Thomas Bourgey Company, New York has published two of Kathye’s short contemporary romance novels, BLUE DIAMOND (December 2000) and JESSIE’S WEDDING (August 2001). A third, STEALING APRIL’S HEART, is a February 2003 release.

Writing must run in the family because Mark is currently penning a sci-fi novel between shifts. Kathye’s niece, Devon, is illustrating a non-fiction book Kathye is working on entitled HI, MOM, HOW ARE THINGS IN HEAVEN, which will deal with grief with humor and understanding.
