Kay is single and lives in a very small town in North Carolina, not far from her father and siblings. She has since published more than 60 novels and four novellas. That book, a Regency romance titled Lady Thief, sold to Dell Publishing in 1980. Very quickly hooked, she asked for a Christmas typewriter and began seriously working on her first novel. Switching to more involving courses such as history and literature, she also began to concentrate on writing, which had been a longtime interest. Kay graduated from East Rutherford High School and attended Isothermal Community College - where she quickly discovered that business classes did not in any way enthrall her. Kay's sister Linda works as her Business Manager, Events Coordinator, and is playing a major role in the creation and operation of The Kay Hooper Foundation.
Her father and brother are builders who own a highly respected construction company, and her mother worked for many years in personnel management before becoming Kay's personal assistant, a position she held until her untimely death in March 2002. The oldest of three children, Kay has a brother two years younger and a sister seven years younger. The family moved back to North Carolina shortly afterward, so she was raised and went to school there. Common sense says that powerful Richard could fix this ancient war of the sexes with a flick of his impressive staff, so Hooper ( The Matchmaker ) must continually work at creating suspense through arcane regulations, i.e., time travel is too risky to be attempted more than once.Kay Hooper (aka Kay Robbins) was born in California, in an air force base hospital since her father was stationed there at the time. There they find male and female wizards living in separate communities, with mutual mistrust and hatred. Richard and Serena then travel far back in time to Atlantis in order to find out why this rule was created and to rectify the situation.
It seems Richard has ignored an age-old law stating that no women be trained to use magic. Serena's high jinks prompt a local reporter to write an article about them questioning their relationship, which in turn brings them to the attention of the Council of Elders-a ruling group of wizards. The body of this silly novel picks up nine years later, when Serena and Richard are secretly attracted to each other but still keeping up the pretense of being uncle and niece for the benefit of the ``powerless'' world. In 1984, 16-year-old Serena Smyth appeared on the doorstep of wizard Richard Merlin in Seattle demanding that he take her on as an apprentice.
