Dana Kaye received her B.A. in Fiction Writing from Columbia College Chicago. There she studied under great authors such as Patricia Rosemoor and Joe Meno, and found her love of writing crime fiction. She is currently seeking representation for her novel "Street Walk," a thriller about a reformed prostitute living on Chicago's north shore who can't seem to run from her past.

In addition to novel writing, Kaye has published short stories, nonfiction articles, and book reviews. Through Columbia, she tutored in the Fiction Writing Department, taught creative writing at Paul Revere Intermediate, and has had a collection of her stories featured in the Creativity With a Conscience exhibition.

She currently lives in Chicago where she reviews books for the Chicago Sun - Times and Crimespree Magazine.
