Kaitlyn (she/her), who goes by Katie among friends and family, lives in historical Massachusetts with her four fuzzy wee dragons: Binx, MacKenzie, Adso, and Sabrina.

She is a writer, a costumer, a hiker, a baker, a wine-maker, and most importantly: the best Auntie in the World™.

She primarily writes historical Young Adult books, leaning into fantasy and adventure more than anything else. Her dream is for her books to be a safe place for teens and young adults to find representation and to understand the experiences of trauma, hardship, romance, and adventure through her characters within the safety of fiction.

Katie has been vocal on social media about her experience with infertility, and was even invited by NBC to write a personal essay for the Today Show on the matter.

Katie is an active member of Moonlighters’ Ink—a writer’s collective local to her. It includes authors J.W. Elliot and J.B. Wadsworth. They originally met up in the town library, but eventually branched out on their own and continue their monthly meetings at home.

Katie is represented by Keir Alekseii of Azantian Literary Agency.
