My “Rae” of Sunshine

Dear Rae-Rae, We were at the beach recently padding along on the soft sand when I noticed you ambling slowly along beside me. Your dark brown eyes sparkled like the sun shimmering on the sea. Golden wisps of your sunshine-kissed hair had escaped your ponytail and were delicately framing your face. Everything about you atRead 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.
