Kyra Gates

Born and raised in Ohio, Kyra Gates became an avid reader late in life. After being encouraged to read a popular series she couldn’t stop. The only issue is that she continued reading the same series over and over again until her husband said, “Why don’t you just write your own book,” after writing her first book Walkers, a fantasy fiction romance that later turned into a novel she fell in love with creating her own alternative world in stories.

A few years later, her manager now close friend introduced her to Urban Fiction…wasn’t her favorite but from there she found African American Romance and is often not seen without her nose buried in her iPad or book. With two kids, a husband, a dog, and a successful youth volleyball program she has to find odd and creative ways to read and write; the bathroom and her car has become her sanctuary.

Soon after she began her first romance series Serenity which is based loosely on her own life’s situations a new part of imagination has opened and she hasn’t looked back. She’s not quite where she wants to be yet but is working toward that goal of one day being a nationally known author.

Her work includes, Walkers, Tortured Soul, and Infinity which is the fantasy fiction series Walkers. Her romance collection includes, Serenity, Is Your Heart Still Mine, Chocolate Angel, One More Night, and A Promise to Keep all part of the Serenity series. There are two more books coming to conclude this series.

Her latest series Harris Family Values includes All I Need Is Patience and coming soon Beautiful Storm, Cherish, Surrender, and Second Treasure.

Kyra Gates is the founder of Dunebug Publishing and Program Director of Precision Volleyball Academy still residing in Ohio with her husband, two children, and the dog. You can contact her at [email protected] or drop by her website @ authorkaigates.wordpress.com.
