As the daughter of a nurse, Katherine grew up surrounded by graphic medical journals and surgical textbooks. Therefore, her love for blood and guts developed at an early age and thus led her to a career in sports medicine.

After "retiring" and spending over a decade raising a family, Katherine turned to her love of thriller novels and is now enjoying its creative outlet for her sick and twisted mind.

She currently resides in Maryland where she loves to epically wipe-out in the Atlantic Ocean, run her dog in the Catoctin Mountains, and encounter the occasional rude person that she'll murder in her next book.
