My Little Carnivore

I’m not sure I have to point out the irony of this post following my Meatless Monday series, but it has recently become very clear that my oldest daughter does not share my sentiments when it comes to red meat and when she turns 14 and is required to practice the laws of abstinence, FridaysRead the whole post >>

God on my Side

I’ve Fallen in Rank

So yesterday afternoon I’m pulling out of the grocery store parking lot when my car alarm starts going off.

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.
