Kyra DavisKyra Davis was born in the San Francisco Bay Area where, with the exception of a brief stint in New York, she has spent her entire life. She majored in business and humanities at Golden Gate University and, after graduating with her bachelor's degree began a career in fashion merchandising and marketing.

At age 27 Kyra gave birth to a wonderful son and stayed home with him for the first 18 months of his life. During her hiatus from work she managed to spend just enough quality time with her husband to motivate her to file for divorce. As a single mother on the verge of bankruptcy, Kyra felt it was irresponsible to drown her sorrows in Cosmopolitans so she drowned them in Frappucinos and writing instead. The Frappucinos (complimented by a healthy dose of anxiety) lead to insomnia, which lead to more writing time and it wasn't long before she realized that she had found her calling. Two years later Kyra had an agent, a finished manuscript and bids from two New York publishing houses.
