Blythe Rainey-Cuyler's Bio
Blythe’s parents liked Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem, “To a Skylark”; hence, her first name taken from the poem and her tendency to be blithe-spirited.
Since her early youth she has been drawn to the arts, particularly literature and the dramatic arts. After receiving her M.A. in Communication, Blythe Rainey-Cuyler created multi-media theater arts learning materials for young people, produced two aesthetic education television shows in New York and Los Angeles, and served as executive director of arts organizations throughout the United States. Her love of communication through the arts led to extensive reading from an early age and to her own writing.
Alligator Smiles…A Tale of Romance & Hidden Crime Under the Florida Sun, her debut novel available on Amazon.com, is loosely based on her experiences working in Florida and leads the protagonist, Debra Price, and the reader into a swamp of corruption. Her second novel, Tinseltown Dreams…Love & Death in Hollywood, 1982, a crime novel, features Kay Randall, a talent agent, and is a fictionalized reflection of Blythe’s life and work in Los Angeles. It exposes entertainment industry criminals who turn dreams into nightmares. The second Kay Randall crime novel, On Location with Danger, has Kay with a film company dealing with death threats and a smuggling ring in the San Francisco Bay Area. The third novel in the crime series, A Gulf Stream of Trouble, mixes the filming of an art heist movie with stolen artwork, killer thieves, and a deadly confrontation in the Gulf of Mexico. All three novels in the Kay Randall crime series are stand-alone novels and are awaiting publication.
Blythe lives in Belvedere, California where, when not writing, she enjoys spending time with her family, dancing to rock n’ roll, and exploring the area’s vibrant arts scene.
