USA Today Bestselling author Kat Mizera was born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust. She’s lived from coast to coast, and everywhere in between, but home is wherever her family is. 

A devoted mom and wife to her wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat loves to travel the globe with her adventurous, hockey loving family. Greece is at the top of that list. She hopes to one day retire there, spending her days writing books on the beach.

Kat is former freelance sports writer who now writes steamy hockey romance about her favorite fictional teams, the Las Vegas Sidewinders and the Alaska Blizzard. The library of novels she’s penned also include sexy contemporary stories about baseball stars, alpha sex club owners, special forces heroes, rock stars and royalty. Regardless of genre, her books about bad boys with hearts of gold will steal your breath, rock your world and melt your heart.

And now straight from the horse’s mouth:

In the spring of 2015, I had hip replacement surgery. During a phone call with my dear friend and cozy mystery writer Joanna Campbell Slan, she didn’t beat around the bush when I expressed my ongoing desire to publish fiction: “What are you waiting for? You’re not getting any younger.”

It was true, since I would be turning forty-eight that year, and so I took the time while I was convalescing to start writing my Las Vegas Sidewinders series. I wrote that first four books that year, and in January of 2016, I got serious about the self-publishing journey. I attended a writers’ conference in Fort Lauderdale, FL, set up a website, started researching cover designers and editors, and began making friends within the industry on Facebook. Honestly, I hadn’t realized what a strong, robust community there was online when it came to books, and I dove in headfirst.

On April 5, 2016, I published “Dominic.” It was my first book and riddled with errors. Not typos and the like, but I hadn’t yet come into my own as a writer, and it’s reflected in the writing. The story itself was solid enough to gain momentum and set me on this journey. I followed with more books, a spinoff series, more writing conferences, a website, a solid social media presence, and a hell of a lot of hard work.

In June of 2018, I published “Defending Dani.” It was the first book of yet another spinoff, my Alaska Blizzard series, and it sold well. Really well. Not J.K. Rowling or Stephen King well, but for me? An indie published author who’d only been in the business for two years and had a niche following? It sold well. It was the book that changed my career, the story that essentially put me on the map. And so I included it in this project, Writers on the Moon, because it was a pinnacle in my career, just as a time capsule of books from earth will be in space travel someday. Well, I hope so.

Since the release of “Defending Dani,” there have many more milestones:

*I hit the USA Today bestseller list in November, 2018.

*I have a total of seven different series and half a dozen crossover novels, nearly fifty total published books, and more in the works!

*I have over eleven thousand subscribers to my newsletter.

There are probably more, but those are the big ones, the ones that mean something to me. I’m not hugely successful, but I’m successful enough, doing something I love, something I’ve always wanted to do. Who could ask for more?

I’m Kat Mizera—Kathy to my parents, honey to my husband, Mom to my kids. I’m also a twenty-first century Writer on the Moon. How cool is that?
