I’m so excited to be featured in the Chicago Tribune! The article was 8 years in the making, and I honestly thought it would never happen. My husband read it and laughed and laughed. He said, “They nailed you, honey!” They also got him pretty well, too. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.


This is a love story. But like many, it’s long and lopsided. Kathy Lyons loves writing romance novels. And the romance novel industry — which claims a sizable percentage of the fiction bought in this country — only loves Kathy Lyons when it’s convenient. You might consider this an unhealthy relationship. Or at least, a long-term codependent affair, marked by frustration and only a glimmer of the exhilaration true love promises.
Kathy Lyons, faithful scribe of Champaign, definitely would.
As David said, caught you correctly. An awesome article. Keep going.
