Kathryn R. Wall is a versatile author who seamlessly combines her professional and creative pursuits. Raised in a small town in northeastern Ohio, she pursued higher education in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. For twenty-five years, Kathryn practiced as an accountant in both public and private practice, before retiring to Hilton Head, South Carolina, with her husband Norman in 1994. Her writing career took off with the self-published release of her first Bay Tanner mystery, In For a Penny, in 2001.
