Kelly Parra’s earliest stories were told with paintbrushes, but upon discovering the drama and forbidden love of romance and suspense novels, those paintbrushes were replaced with a keyboard.
Now a multi-published author, she has created memorable characters such as a graffiti artist in Graffiti Girl, a psychic teen in Invisible Touch, and a tough undercover narc in her first novel for adults, Criminal Instinct. A two-time RITA® finalist, she divides her time between her novels, freelance writing, and the adventures of motherhood, where she juggles her home life with two children, a tattooed husband, a sweet poodle, and an exuberant pit bull.

Tina Ferraro began writing as soon as she could hold a pencil. Although her earliest creations are better left unmentioned, she sold her first short story right out of college, and went on to see almost a hundred more published in national magazines before turning to full-length writing efforts. She is the author of three young adult novels with Random House, Top Ten Uses for an Unworn Prom Dress, How to Hook a Hottie, and The ABC’s of Kissing Boys, which she likes to collective refer to as “Top Ten Ways to Kiss a Hottie.”
A two-time RITA® finalist, she lives in Los Angeles with scientist husband, two cats, and whichever of their three college-aged kids happens to be home. Visit her website, www.tinaferraro.com or “friend” her on Facebook.
