Hi and thanks for reading my profile.

My name is Kat and i,m a 40 year old emergency nurse. I'm also a jewelry maker,author, and I design and make my own silver and clay artisan jewelry.

My journey into writing has been more than unusual . After having my children at the age of sixteen and descending into a life of crime and drugs, I have successfully managed to turn my life around.

I have now completed two university degrees and currently working on my third. I also run my own online jewelry business along side working full time in the ED and looking after my three wonderful kids and husband.

I love to reminisce and make sense of the experiences I have had in my short but very varied and sometimes grueling life.

I feel that writing short stories gives me a certain sense of release and it also gives me the opportunity to expel my memories and experiences onto a blank canvass..... It basically clears my head.

Each of my stories is special in the fact that it reflect someone or several people that I have met in my life, either in my personal life as a teenager or young mum , or in my job as an emergency nurse.

I hope you enjoy reading as much as I loved creating and hope my stories make you laugh hard, cry lightly and give a divine inspiration when the going gets tough :)
