My Stealth Sleep Strategies

Once upon a time there lived a woman who could care less about balls, evil stepmothers, three bears or seven dwarfs. All she really wanted was sleep. In fact, she didn’t think Sleeping Beauty had it so bad. If her own prince (AKA husband of six-and-a-half years) woke her up with a sweet kiss afterRead the whole post >>

Confessions

1. I ate ice cream for dinner on Sunday. It was creamy and chocolate and delicious. Just don’t tell my 3-year-old. (She wasn’t home when I raided the freezer.) 2.

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.
