    Precious moments indeed! It’s good to store up those moments of unbridled joy, catch them on camera, and hold them in your heart for rainy days and fussy frowning fits.

    I love first baby smiles. I love older kids calling Mom’s attention to each,new miraculous smile. Somehow, our family phrase was “Look! It’s the goofy open mouth!” Now I’m longing for the my new grandson’s first smiles.

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
