KATHERINE. BONE

Katherine Bone has always had an adventurous streak, and a passion for art and history enhanced by treks to forts, castles, battlegrounds, and cathedrals as an Army brat. Throughout her teens, she devoured romance novels and began writing poetry, beaming with pride when one of her haikus made it into the yearbook. Art school followed, and, in the middle of a college whirlwind, a friend introduced her to a handsome Army Officer who stole her heart. Eight moves, four children, and a lifetime of memories later, Katherine has finally lived in one place long enough to put down roots. She’s also found the time to chase a lifelong dream—writing happily-ever-afters, with a dash of adventure.
