Sparks, Snarks, & Plot Twists KC Rice writes across genres — romance, suspense, mystery, political thriller, cartel romance and dark romance— with one constant: she doesn't flinch from the dark corners of her stories. Retribution is her most unflinching work yet. She considers herself as "just a simple country gal." Born and raised in a small town in Kentucky, she's a wife, mother, and Nana. As a child she relied on her active imagination as her best friend and it's that same active imagination that keeps her character's alive and yapping to this day. In 2015 she began a new journey, sharing her imagination in creative writing; putting to print the characters who invade her mind along with their thoughts, she has the incredible ability to weave romance, suspense and thrills into one spectacular story. She isn't tied down to just one genre. She's written: romance, suspense, PNR, a rom-com that will leave you in stitches laughing. She just recently completed her very first political thriller, Sleeping With The Enemy. She has two new books coming out the end of May 2026, Sleeping With the Enemy- political thriller romance and Retribution- a dark suspense romance focused on drug cartel, kidnapping, and revenge. She is the mastermind of the Tattered Series all of which have numerous five star reviews. When asked what drives her to create, her reply is simply, "If I can help just one person escape the humdrum of life through my stories, even if for a short time-well I guess I've been successful."
