Hi there! 

I'm pretty new to the writing world. While I have always loved to read, it is only recently that writing has piqued my interest - and even now, I mostly write non-fiction for my blog. But since fiction is so much more exciting, I'm going to give it my best shot! 

My favorite authors include Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Robert Louis Stevenson, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Louisa May Alcott, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and too many more to count. When I'm not reading, doing homework, or spending time with my family, I like to practice piano, crochet, sing, and skype with friends. 

Most importantly I am a Christian, fully committed to following God and to loving Him with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength. As a sinful being I often rebel, but Christ in His infinite love has pardoned me through His death and resurrection. All glory be to Him! 

P.S. My username, Kate Nickleby, is a character from Charles Dickens' awesome novel "Nicholas Nickleby".
