Kate became interested in writing as a past time during a lengthy illness that prohibited much activity. She grew up on the banks of the Mississippi, listening to the many tales of the Native Americans that had inhabited the area. As a devout Christian she is also intrigued by the spiritual. She enjoys spending time with her children and grandchildren, crocheting, writing, singing Southern Gospel and playing the piano. Kate would like to acknowledge the support she has received from her husband, Clyde Jackson, and her children as well as her late husband, Larry Williams, in the realization of this project.view less
