I’m a writer.

Books are probably my favorite things ever.

My name is Kate, Katie to my friends, and I’m a writer. I write fantasy, made-up history, and smut, for the most part. I’m a glutton for the BBC and desserts and prone to spontaneous fits of geekery.

This is where I talk about my writing life; my own personal adventure, my epic quest to make a magically successful career out of the words I write and the stories that live in my head.

I’ve committed myself to myself, finally. Ever since I was a little girl, writing stories was all I really wanted to do. But, as happens, I let fears dressed as “being realistic” stop me from pursuing this dream for far too long. So here I am, telling that little girl that the dream IS worthy of pursuit, and that there is magic at her fingertips if she would only close her eyes and breathe.

If you’re a writer too, welcome. If you’re a reader, an adventure lover, a seeker of truth and beauty, come and raise a cup. I don’t have all the answers, I’m an apprentice here just beginning my journey to the top of the mountain. But we can learn together, laugh over mistakes (hopefully), and embrace the process.

The writing life is more like an epic quest than any other profession I can think of and I’m ready to dive in, my bag of needments in hand.

To all of you along your own adventures, happy writing!
