Kristy McCaffrey is a contemporary, historical fiction, and romance fiction author that is best known for the “Wings of the West” series of novels.
The author grew up in Scottsdale Arizona, where she used to frequently tell stories to herself. It helped her young mind process the banality of everyday life, while also giving her a feeling of control.

She also had an overwhelming compulsion to put stories on paper and still has several boxes of diaries in which she wrote her stories.

Kristy probably got her passion for reading from her mother who was a voracious reader. During her teenage years, she used to snatch all manner of novels from her nightstand even though she had a preference for fantasy and science fiction.

Some of the authors she read during this time include Roger Zelazny, Ann McCaffrey, Piers Anthony, and Marion Zimmer Bradley. She also fell in love with “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen and was fascinated by the turns and twists of “Wuthering Heights.”

But it was not until she was a married woman that she started reading romances. She used to walk to the town library and read all manner of bodice reapers and as such, it was not a surprise that she would later gravitate towards writing romances.

When Kristy McCaffrey went to college, she studied engineering, which is odd since no one in her family has ever worked in the sciences. Her mother is a teacher/glass artist and her father was an accountant.

However, McCaffrey liked math in high school since her teacher was always so animated about the relationship between the world around us and math.
Moreover, she had always wanted to make her father proud to have an independent daughter working a good job. Engineers get paid some good salaries and she was sure to get a good start in life.

But once she graduated, she did not work as an engineer except for the internship she did at Motorola. In fact, the most she was ever involved in engineering was when she was at the University of Pittsburgh and had to write her master’s thesis.

When Kristy McCaffrey got married, her husband suggested that one of them had to stay back home and take care of the kids. While they had not decided who it was that would stay, she jumped at the chance.

However, she soon got afraid that her brain would rot if she did not keep working it. She wanted to do some writing rather than engineering and began writing her first manuscript at a time when she had four children all under five.

Just like many authors, she had many starts, stops, and rewrites but eventually managed to publish “The Wren,” her debut novel in 2014. She has since written many more novels since then and now has more than a dozen works to his name.

These include several series, single-standing titles, novellas, and contributions to series. She is also very much involved in continuing to learn the art of writing, promotion, and marketing her own books.
