Katie is a native to the United States, growing up in a small town in the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania. A lifelong snow cynic, she moved to the Deep South at the first opportunity, where she could avoid the cold as much as possible. Katie began creating stories when she was very young, playing Barbies with her little sister, and it continued into her teenage and new adult years when she discovered fan fiction. She has carried on with her writing—mostly for fun or to read aloud to her beloved shih tzu, Delta. When not writing, Katie enjoys reading, drinking tea, jokingly critiquing movies and TV, and campaigning that the plural of moose should be meese. She also loves to take in live music (especially Hanson) and traveling, with the goal of reaching each of the continents. Katie’s favorite pastime, however, is spending time with Delta.
