I have a bachelors in creative writing and my head in the clouds. I’ve written 8 complete novels, as well as many valiant starts, and have finally written one I want to release into the world.
My heart will forever lie with fantasy, but I also enjoy writing a personal essay here and there (check my blog for a taste). A couple of these essays have been printed in publications like Bella Grace Magazine, and The Rough Notes Company.
I am currently working on draft 3 my latest novel, dubbed “TCW.” She’s still got a lot of work ahead of her, but this story has my heart and I’m so excited to share it with you one day.
Hi! I’m Katherine Rae, and I write books.

I live in East Tennessee in a cute old house with my husband, Dakota, and my dog, Roo. Dakota and I met at work in an insurance company’s marketing department. Ironically, we watched The Office together as “just friends.”
But when he read every book I recommended him, including my favorite series (the whole thing), I knew he was the one.
I still work in insurance (in marketing) and love my job. You can usually find me after work in my reading chair or on my back porch, with a novel, a notebook, a pen, and a Diet Dr. Pepper.
