…on the Son Rise Morning Radio Show filling in for the ever-talented, multitasking maven Danielle Bean tomorrow (Friday, October 15th) at 6:50 a.m. EST.

He looks like a puffy cloud of smoke with his thick, gray coat, and he puts up with my daughters’ constant attention. Hopefully, soon they’ll have another animal to kiss and petRead the whole post >>

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.
