Bio

 

I write, therefore, I am.  

More?

I’ve written six novels. I write love stories that tend to be edgy and dark and love to write about impossible situations. My storylines will twist you up and tear you apart and I will surely make you cry. You may begin to wonder if there will ever be a happy ending. My heroes tend to be great and my heroines tend to be f*cked up. And, I like that word, and you’ll have to get used to that or you may just want to pass on my work. I don’t mind. Truly. Not really. Okay, a little.

Additionally, I am not a fast writer. My plots are twisty, and it takes time to think them through. I spend more than half the year thinking about a storyline before I ever get words to show up on the page. So. You’ll get one book a year from me if things are going great. I wish I wrote faster, but then again, I would be a completely different writer if I did that. Still? I #LoveMyReaders and even though #Iwillmakeyoucry, my endings are always satisfying. Lastly, if you’re not offended by the gentle sprinkling of the f-word at what I feel are ‘necessary junctures’, we’re bound to be best friends.

Where to start with the novels? Well, the fan favorite is When I See You or This Much Is True (Book 1 in the Truth In Lies Series.) However, there is this little penchant for Not To Us among book clubs as well. Regardless of which one you choose, I hope you enjoy my novels! Be forewarned though as I have said my work is not for the faint of heart and book reviewers do attest to that:

“This is not just any book. This is THE Book. It will keep you wondering, guessing, bargaining, and praying for a happy ending…” Debbie D. at BOOKISH review of This Much Is True

“They continually destroyed each other; it was terribly good. Can you admit to loving a book that left you so crushed for the majority of the novel?”  iErlyn Books Hug Back Blog  review of This Much Is True

“Warning: This book is not for the faint of heart, be prepared for angst, and as such you might want chocolate, a box of tissues, a protective case for your kindle, and someone to hold your hand or at least talk with during this roller coaster ride of a story.” Back Off My Books Blog  review of This Much Is True

This way, darling, come to my world here or on Facebook (or click the Contact aka Stalker Options tab for other ways to reach out to me).

Katherine’s quotes


"You know what they say about air and water when it comes to fire, don’t you?” she asks.
Now, I’m curious. She hasn’t spoken for the last ten minutes of the drive. “What?”
“Too much air blows out the fire. Too much water destroys it.”
I nod trying to determine what she’s really comparing us to. “The idea would be to keep the flame going, right. For years?” She nods. “Like a relationship. Like a marriage.” She cringes at the word marriage. Noted. “So you need the air—to stay constant—to fan the flames of the fire, and you know, grasshopper,” I smile at her and catch sight of the corners of her mouth turning slightly upward in response to the endearment, “a hot enough fire will burn water, so you have to be careful with the water too.”
“That I do know,” she says softly. “So that’s the truth about air and water.” She sighs deep.
“Which is?”
“It’s hard to maintain the balance to keep the fire going. You have to fan the flames without putting it out with too much water. But too little water will burn the fire right up. Too much fire. Too much destruction. We’re out of control.”
“You’re talking in circles,” I say.
“No. That’s us,” she says with certainty."— Katherine Owen
