In her spare time - nix that, Kat has no spare time. She lives with her husband Paul and daughter Hunter, who both put up with her craziness and rambling. She has completed work on her first novel, Precarious, and is in the process of writing her second book, tentatively titled Vicarious. Interested agents and publishers are invited to request proposals.

Entries on Tie Dye Travels are available for reprint for a negotiated fee. The author requests to be informed about trackbacks from other sites.
