Roxann Kinney was born and raised in Horseheads, New York. She grew up enjoying sports like baseball, touch football, horseback riding, and ice skating with neighborhood kids and actively snowmobiling with her father and husband and family.

Kinney raised two children while living in the hills of Erin, New York, and coached her hometown tee ball and junior league team. Roxann also helped with her daughter's Brownie troop.

After the loss of her husband and fourteen-year-old son in an auto accident with a drunken driver, Kinney and her daughter moved to Rhode Island.

Roxann worked for a lottery company building lottery machines, and was promoted to documentation. She also attended college, and completed writing courses with Long Ridge Writers Group and Institute of Children's Literature. Education through these courses inspired her to write and submit her manuscripts. She felt she had many ideas to tell her stories. Writing, sewing, and growing roses are Kinney's hobbies.

Katie's Mysterious Treehouse Friends started with the idea in 1996 for a fiction book while she was sitting on her back porch. She loves to read and write fiction as well as other genres.
