Carole McKee is originally from Pittsburgh, but has resided in Florida since 2002. Most of her contemporary romance and romantic suspense novels take place in the Western Pennsylvania area, the place she will always call home. Carole is a passionate writer, making readers feel the emotions of her characters. One reader exclaimed, "Carole McKee's books help cleanse the tear ducts!" Her first novel, "Perfect" brought out so much emotion that she got phone calls from people who were in tears when they finished the book. Another reader says that she laughs and then she cries with every one of McKee's books. Carole's writing career actually began in 1995 when she wrote a tribute to her beloved black Labrador Retriever when he passed away. The tribute was published in a veterinary magazine a few months after it was written. Although the stories were in her head, she didn't begin writing seriously until 2006 with her first novel, "Perfect." It was published in 2007. She entered "Perfect" in a contest and the book won an award, which was just the encouragement she needed to seriously pursue a career as a writer. The first of the "Choices" series was published in 2008; followed by "The Bushes are Red," and "The Full Nelson." Readers didn't want that series to end, so because many readers asked for more of those same characters, she wrote "Consequences," the fourth and last of the series. It was published in the Spring of 2013. It was time to end the series. "Choices" lead to "Consequences," eventually. In addition to these books, which are available in paperback and eBook formats, Carole also published these four eBooks: "Kisses from the Heart" "Second chances" "Maddie's Garden" and "Going Home." And now the trilogy "Testosterone Poisoning," available in paperback and eBook format. Another book is in the works. More on that later.
