About

Born in the Pacific Northwest, Kathleen once lived on a farm near Mount St. Helens. She spent over twenty years in Minnesota before returning home to Washington State.

After graduating from Augsburg University in Minneapolis, Kathleen worked variously as an executive secretary to an occult publisher, a tarot reader, a typesetter, and a proofreader before finding a niche in academic libraries, and, later, as an academic counselor at the University of Washington, Seattle. Most recently she served as a library assistant at a small, rural, public library.

She lives and writes on an island in the Salish Sea in Washington State accessible only by ferry, a place of stunning natural beauty.
