edit data

Kate has been jotting down stories since she was a little girl reading Agatha Christie novels over her mother’s shoulder in bed- faking being asleep so she didn’t have to leave and go back to her own room.

That soon led to recapping dreams early in the morning before they were forgotten, creating worlds to escape to when the real one wasn’t cutting it, and endless short stories written on looseleaf paper and bound together by duct tape so that they felt like REAL books.

Kate is originally from Long Island. She now resides in Connecticut with her husband, son, and two dogs where she loves the quiet and fresh air but misses the bagels....ohhhh the bagels.
