Katherine Marple has been writing since the ripe age of ten. In her elementary school yearbook, she wrote simply: "I want to be an author when I grow up." She used to spend her summers reading and writing so much that her fingers grew calluses and paper cuts.

At the age of fourteen, "I even took time to bind my first books - murder mysteries, if you'd believe it- with glue and construction paper. I was so proud to see my books like 'real books.'

“Love never comes when you're ready for it... As soon as you're ready for it, it's too late, and it's gone.

“So father, close your eyes
and say a prayer for me
Maybe your god will save my soul
Daddy, please close your eyes
say a prayer for me
Ask him to make me whole”
Katherine Marple

Maria Hi Katherine, great to hear from you. Yes, I got your card, thanks!!
I'm busy preparing to publish two new books soon. I'm still looking for a day job, having been made redundant a while back, but the writing keeps me sane!!
Hope all is well with you :)
