Kaira Rouda

Kaira Rouda is a multiple award-winning and USA Today bestselling author of contemporary fiction. She is known for exploring the intricacies of what seem to be perfect lives but are not. Some of her novels including USA Today’s “Best Day Ever,” a domestic suspense were translated into several languages. Kaira was born to a stay at home mom and a marketing professor. Given her father’s profession, she spent much of her childhood in college towns across the United States. She was born in Northwestern in Chicago before the family moved to USC in Los Angeles then to the University of Texas in Austin, to Harvard in Boston and finally to Ohio State University in Columbus, where they at last put down roots. Kaira loves to say that she obtained her MBA at the dinner table though she went to Vanderbilt University from where she graduated with a degree in English literature. Once she was done with college, she went back to Columbus where she went on to work in advertising and writing copy for anything from carpet cleaning to press releases for dog ice cream. She also wrote for blogs, newspapers and magazines.
