I’m Katie.

I am a poet and novelist, educator, and author of historical fiction for young readers. My writing is most inspired by the stories of the past and the wonders of nature. I love wandering old cemeteries and hiking forest trails. I am a lifelong Hoosier with deep Indiana roots, and most of my books have ties to Indiana history. I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my husband and our four kids-- and a bunch of cats and dogs, too.
