About Cait London

Lois Kleinsasser was born on April 11 and raised in rural Washington state. With rumours of an Austrian princess in her ancestry, Lois is of German Russian heritage, and is the only member of her family who is not bilingual. However, like Lois, every member of her family has achieved in the creative arts."I usually teach myself," she says. "And that is what I did with writing. I believed then, and still do, that artistic elements are translatable that given dedication and the eagerness to learn, one can move from one art form to another.... In some ways, that untrained, do-it-yourself creativity is more pure than when it is taught. 'Live and learn' has always served me well. I have been an artist since I was 10, so it seemed only natural to move into writing, that is, creating pictures on pages instead of canvas."

Published since 1986, she started writing historical romances under the pseudonym Cait Logan (the editors didn't want her to use her real name). Lois enjoyed doing research driving the full length of historic Western American trails. She has driven the entire Oregon Trail and loved that experience. She uses this historic background in her contemporary romances as Cait London. This love of historical research is especially found in the popular Tallchief series from Silhouette. The original five-book series was designed as a complete unit, and her editor at the time said she had never seen anything like it. Lois designed the Tallchief logo, the genealogy chart, and of course the ancestral stories and the additional Tallchief books. Also, much of her writing as includes that early background amid the sage and sand and the wheat and apple crops. Where does she get her ideas?" All I have to do is take a long drive, look at an old house or a windmill missing a paddle, and a story unfolds to me," she says. "So those long drives across the West are very profitable, stories sticking to me like lint.

A USA Today bestseller, Lois has received several national kudos including featured alternate in Doubleday and Rhapsody book clubs, and featured selection in romantic suspense in Mystery Guild book club. Her awards include Holt, Laurel Wreath, RIO (Reviewers International Organization), Bookseller's Best, WRWA Reader's Award for Single Title, B.Dalton's Bestseller Award, several RT nominations and awards, including Reviewer's Choice Award. However, she lists her top achievement as several years as a single mother of her three daughters, while she worked a full-time day job and wrote for two publishers. Lois lives in Missouri with her three daughters, she says that three is her lucky number, because she was born in a three year, married in one, and she has three lovely daugthers. She loves computers, the Internet, creating bookmarks and newsletters, and reading everything, and she attends museums, festivals, powwows, and other rendezvous for research. Lois also enjoys raising herbs and scented geraniums, driving cross-country, photography, cooking, and generally experiencing life. On her list of future experiences are updating her ballroom, Latin American, and folk dancing, and travelling abroad (and having Robert Duvall as a tango teacher).

Cait London - A Loving Man

Rose Granger had preferred life in Waterville
before Stefan Donatien began to call it home.
Now the restaurateur turned up in her paint store,
her kitchen, her every thought -- some of them
blazing hot. But she doused her fiery, forbidden
thoughts. For the big-city businessman could
never be satisfied with the serene beauty of
small-town life and the woman who matched it
perfectly....

Stefan had never burned so fiercely for any
woman...fate had singled out Rose as his. And
with every penetrating kiss, he felt her resistance
dwindle -- and her sensuality soar. Now it was
only a matter of time, and exquisite loving, before
Rose surrendered to the ultimate truth -- that
their union was inevitable...and everlasting!

Jessica was.
