About the author
Kate Reynolds
3 books15 followersI'm Kate Reynolds, author of Ernestine, my debut work of historical fiction set in 1526 Spain. Booklife describes my novel by saying, "This work of historical fiction brims with life and heart." My husband says it took me long enough to write it, but I'm not putting that on my book jacket.
I spent my early adult years wandering about. I was a stewardess on a two masted schooner in the Bahamas and a U.S.O. Director in Louisiana and Missouri. I have also been a waitress and a cleaning lady at a motel. In college, I spent six months traveling in Europe, including several months in Spain, a country I adore. Later, I put in ten years or so as a computer programmer before I came to my senses and started writing. Words were, after all, my first love. I began by writing articles in the San Jose Business Journal and a number of other magazines. I loved writing magazine articles on all sorts of fascinating topics because that way I learned so much. In my spare time, I wrote novels. In fact, I have a small collection (four) of unpublished novel-length works, but I'm hoping to change that soon and publish all or most of those.
My husband and I are moving soon to South Carolina with our cat.
Things I love: birding, animal tracking, reading, writing, cooking, coffee, good wine, and cats.
Stay tuned for my forthcoming novel, Pheemie's War. It's set in Phoenix, Arizona during WW II. I think you'll like it. If you follow this page, you'll be notified when my new novel comes out!

This is the best and most thorough guide I've found for Phoenix, by far! All, the usual "must see" stuff is covered, but there are also lots of useful suggestions and info for recent transplants like myself (there's even a section at the back that focuses on relocation). It also has plenty to say about the entirety of the Valley, and is not skewed towards only a few touristy areas. You can find everything in this book - anything from a place to stay and sites to see; to where to play tennis, shop an outlet mall, or sit on a park bench and feed ducks.
