Kay
Finch is a Pennsylvania native but, as her husband likes to say,
she got to Texas as fast as she could. She has worked as a
legal assistant
in Houston
for the past seventeen years, beginning in the criminal law arena
at Richard “Racehorse” Haynes’ firm
before turning to a specialization in family law. Kay meets with
clients at one of the worst, most emotional, times of their
lives. Though the typical
clients are law-abiding citizens, to the best of her knowledge,
it’s
not hard to imagine them each with a motive for murder. And so
the Corie McKenna mystery series was born, beginning with Final
Decree, a novel
sparked by one particularly memorable client many years ago.
Kay is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, Private
Eye Writers of America, and the State Bar of Texas Legal Assistants Division.
She has recently become Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board
of Legal Specialization. Kay lives in a Houston suburb with her husband
and their family of Labrador retrievers, where she is working on her
next Corie McKenna private eye mystery.
