More About the Author

Kathryn Shay is a lifelong writer. At fifteen, she penned her first 'romance,' a short story about a female newspaper reporter in New York City and her fight to make a name for herself in a world of male journalists - and with one hardheaded editor in particular. Looking back, Kathryn says she should have known then that writing was in her future. But as so often happens, fate sent her detouring down another path.

Fully intending to pursue her dream of big city lights and success in the literary world, Kathryn took every creative writing class available at the small private women's college she attended in upstate New York. Instead, other dreams took precedence. She met and subsequently married a wonderful guy who'd attended a neighboring school, then completed her practice teaching, a requirement for the education degree she never intended to use. But says Kathryn, "I fell in love with teaching the first day I was up in front of a class, and knew I was meant to do that."

Kathryn went on to build a successful career in the New York state school system, thoroughly enjoying her work with adolescents. But by the early 1990s, she'd again made room in her life for writing. It was then that she submitted her first manuscript to publishers and agents. Despite enduring two years of rejections, she persevered. And on a snowy December afternoon in 1994, Kathryn Shay sold her first book to Harlequin Superromance.

Since that first sale, Kathryn has written twenty-two books for Harlequin, ten mainstream contemporary romances for the Berkley Publishing Group, and two online novellas, which Berkley then published in traditional print format.

Kathryn has become known for her powerful characterizations - readers say they feel they know the people in her books - and her heart-wrenching, emotional writing (her favorite comments are that fans cried while reading her books or stayed up late to finish them). In testament to her skill, the author has had a one of her books serialized in the December 2003 COSMOPOLITAN magazine and has been quoted in PEOPLE and THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. She has won five RT BookClub Magazine Reviewers Choice Awards, three Holt Medallions, two Desert Quill Awards, the Golden Leaf Award, and several online accolades.

Even in light of her writing success, that initial love of teaching never wavered for Kathryn. She finished out her teaching career in 2004, retiring from the same school where her career began. These days, she lives in upstate New York with her husband and two children. "My life is very full," she reports, "but very happy. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to pursue and achieve my dreams."

Dan Logan's world is perfect. He's deeply in love with his wife Tessa, totally happy in his job as a District Attorney and the father of two beautiful girls. But, when Tessa's past comes back to haunt them, his life begins to fall apart. A man who has always prided himself on his reputation has a hard time handling the havoc that Tessa's past brings which causes him to react hurtfully to his wife.

Tessa Logan tried to tell Dan that she wasn't the sort of person he needed for his wife. He steamrolled over her objections and because Tessa loved him so much, she let him convince her that they should be together. And, she could never bring herself to tell him of the shameful past that she left behind. Now after more than 10 years that past has come back with a vengeance and Tessa's not sure that life will ever be the same.

Tell Me No Lies is definitely going to be added to my re-read list. From the first chapter, Kathryn Shay grabbed me. The emotional devastation that levels Tess's life explodes from the pages, as does the love that Tessa and Dan share. Kathryn Shay effortlessly combines secrets, love and forgiveness. Tell Me No Lies is a romance that won't disappoint.

I could not put this book down! I had to find out what was going to happen with Dan and Tessa. The story kept building just as the lies did. I wanted her to tell him about her past life. But also, he put her down so bad that I thought that was the end of this marriage. Very good read--kept me away from my housework!

I absolutely loved this book!!! I started off really slow reading one chapter a day, but on a trip to New Mexico, I was able to read 10 chapters in 2 days. I was dedicated to this book because I really wanted to know the ending. There are alot of details and suspense throughout the whole book that kept me interested. I would and have recommended this book. Hope you enjoy it too and learn from it as well.
