Perkins has been a writer for most of her life, including her years as an actress when she wrote articles in her spare time. Like her protagonist, Kate Sachs, she knows what it’s like to be a struggling actress, having appeared on stage and in many soap operas and movies as an extra. Unlike Kate, she never landed a starring role on television. So to make a living she started a consulting firm specializing in training (with a theatrical flair), catering to firms on Wall Street. But that gypsy in her soul, as a friend dubbed her creative muse, was only in hiding. She popped out one day and refused to leave her alone. DEADLY PLAY is the result of her persistence. M.K. Perkins lives in Fairfield County, CT with her husband. She is working on another novel about Kate called DEADLY ACTS that is set in Paris and London.view less
