Katherine Ladny Mitchell wrote her first literary work - bound with rainbow-colored shoelaces - at age seven. A lover of singing, writing, and rhyme, Katherine started playing with words as a child and never outgrew the habit.
A graduate of Covenant College with a B.A. in Sociology, Katherine has freelanced for years with narratives and articles in Tea Time Magazine, Chicken Soup for the Soul, a local health magazine, and a couple anthologies. She's also authored three books available on Amazon.com and signed a book contract with Bandersnatch Books for her new cozy murder mystery, Not to Be, due to be released in the summer of 2025.
When she's not writing, you can find Katherine singing and dancing, taking tea with her husband, caring for 50+ animals on her new TN homestead, and educating her five Mitchell munchkins. She also enjoys fire-breathing and fire poi-twirling on occasion - just to shake things up.
