With over twenty years of horse ownership and Endurance riding to her credit, Kasey Riley (Kim) brings a wealth of knowledge
to her novels. Her love of the trail, outdoors, and rural living give color and vibrancy to her books. This realism has drawn many
readers to her novels. She strives to make readers see through the eyes of her characters and imagine themselves enmeshed in the plot.
She plans on each book being a stand-alone novel that can be read in any sequence without the reader missing details of the story. However, that
could change in the future, if she feels the need to link novels. Do Not Assume could be the beginning of a series. It stands alone, but could have
sequels which would need the reader to start with Do Not Assume. Do Not Assume came from a discussion between Kasey and her husband, Jeff, in one of
the several drives between Oklahoma and their new home in Tennessee. Tossing around an idea about a young woman who keeps being involved in mysterious
violence. Coming up with an idea as to why she’s involved and solving the situation kept them occupied for many miles. Kasey’s mind sees every news
article as a possible story plot for her characters to endure. She loves alone time on the trail to work her way through the next plot and create new
characters.
When not writing or riding, she enjoys reading a wide variety of genre novels and sounding out new plots on her husband of 40+ years. Together, they
moved two horses, four dogs, two cats and all their assorted belongings from SE Oklahoma to Central Tennessee in 2016. Starting with a fall 2015 trip
to scope out the country, simply because neither had ever been to TN, the state drew them back and the small town on the Cumberland Plateau lured them
into moving there. Now able to ride out the back door, Kasey finds less time to write, but has many viable ideas to work from.
