While born in Ottawa, Canada and still residing there, Kathi considers home to be anywhere she finds herself engaged in a good conversation and fine wine. Travels with her work as a healthcare consultant or during magnificent vacations with her husband have provided great inspiration for stories, settings and characters. A strong love of nature and animals and an interest in synchronicity provide common themes in most works.
A former member of The Ottawa Story Spinners, Kathi participated in five of their short story collections “The Black Lake Chronicles”. In 2013, the Fuzzball short story set was created on a whim but turned into a fundraiser for animal shelters across North America. More recently, Kathi was chosen as a poetry contributor to the Canadian Poetry Institute’s anthology “Island Magic”, selected as a contributor to a romance short story anthology “Romancing the Story”, and selected for a publication of flash fiction in Haunted Waters Press. In addition, she has contributed to short story publications in several on-line magazines.
Kathi’s plan is to grow her small business, “The Writing Spot”, and provide mentorship and support to writers in all stages of growth through in-person and online writing groups and workshops.
“When I am writing, and so lost in the story that I lose track of time and space, that is a true moment of joy and relaxation for me.”
