Kimila Kay lives in Donald, a small farming community thirty miles south of Portland, Oregon, with her husband, Randy, their elder Boston Terrier, Maggie and a feisty young cat, Halle. An avid reader all her life, Kimila started writing fourteen years ago and discovered her love for Mexico twenty-eight years ago on her honeymoon in Mazatlan, Mexico. My professional accomplishments include three anthologized essays in the Cup of Comfort series. And in three separate contests, two first place awards and a third place award in the romantic suspense category for PERIL IN PARADISE. I am currently a member of a writing critique group and Willamette Writers.

PERIL IN PARADISE is the first novel in a planned cross-cultural series, which so far includes Murder in Margaritaville, Chaos in Cabo, Vanished in Vallarta and Lost in Loreto.
