Heroes come in many shapes and sizes. Sometimes they are as big as the hero we associate with bravery and might, the decorated and revered Master Chief, sometimes they are as small as the woman who decides that there is strength in shedding fear or adventure and self-awareness after twenty years of sameness. This collection of short stories follows the private lives and thoughts of three such heroes. Look inside their thoughts, and you might see a bit of yourself.
Kat Bert is an administrative medical professional, until recently, spending many days and nights in the company of hospice patients. Velvet's Touch is a fictional novel inspired by the RN who helped her own parents navigate their hospice journey. Velvet's Touch is Kat's fifth novel written in the quiet moments before the start of another crazy day. When she's not writing or working she can be found nursing stray cats, the most recent addition to her family, a one-eyed kitten whose preference is to stand on a keyboard rather than her lap, OR she can be found roaming her extensive self-made garden. Read, enjoy and ask Kat anything!
