About the Author

BIOGRAPHY

Kathleen Kaska has published three mystery-trivia books: What's Your Agatha Christie I.Q.? (Citadel Press, 1996), The Alfred Hitchcock Triviography and Quiz Book (Renaissance Books, 1999), and The Sherlock Holmes Triviography and Quiz Book (Taylor Publishing, 2000). These trivia books contain everything you ever wanted to know about the works of the three masters of mystery and suspense, as well as interesting behind-the-scene tidbits about the writers.

Kaska is currently working on two mystery series of her own. The Kate Caraway series features Kate Caraway, an animal rights' activist and her husband, retired Chicago Cubs catcher, Jack Ryder. The Sydney Lockhart series is set in the early fifties when most women were housewives and moms. The five-feet ten, redheaded Miss Lockhart is travel writer who is too outspoken and headstrong to stay out of trouble.

Recently, Kaska has also included "playwright" to her resume. Four of her one-act plays have been produced at the San Juan Community Theatre in Friday Harbor, Washington. She has won several awards for her short stories, including first place in the Writers' League of Texas Short Story contest in 2000.
