Mom of 2 kids. One still at home, both pretty wonderful
Love Music. Can't live without it, dubstep, electronic dance music, new wave '80's (Yes, I'm that old) and I play it loud, very loud
Love Books. Especially young adult novels with a good romance in them :)
I love it when I'm reading a book that's so good I have to finish it, even if it takes me till 4 a.m. to do it.
Love to read books on here, especially ones written by teens (But never fanfic. Not a hater, just not my cup of tea). Some of their stories break my heart :'(
Loved Harry Potter
Loved Delirium/Pandemonium and can't wait to read Requiem by Lauren Oliver!
Loved Reason to Breathe/Barely Breathing. Can't wait for Out of Breath coming in July by Rebecca Donovan
Loved Hunger Games

I never thought I would be a writer but one day I started writing a story and it somehow turned into a book. Now I'm writing the sequel. This has been one of the most rewarding and unusual experiences of my life. Completely unexpected, and I'm blown away by the response I've gotten.

I hate reading stories where the characters have perfect looks and bodies. Flaws make characters more interesting
I hate cooking, I'm so over it
I hate house cleaning too

I'm too shy to talk to you, so you need to talk to me first :)

My husband is on here@blaisejoseph He's awesome, of course!

My biggest pet peeve at the moment is authors demanding votes for uploads. If you want that kind of relationship with your readers, it's your right, but I will not fan or read your work if you have so little respect for your readers you hold your chapters hostage. I ask for votes, but I write for me, not for some insignificant external validation.

These are the juicy bits that can't be in the PG-13 version of Love You Forever (A Sequel to Stolen Hearts). If you don't want to read sex scenes, don't read. If you're not 18, don't read. It's as simple as that. :)

Hey everyone!  I have good news and not so great news.  First the not so great:  there won’t be a new chapter of Love You Forever this week.  It’s getting close to the end of the school year for my 17 year old and I’m heavily involved in some of the end of the year activities.  I’m hoping the next chapter will be ready by next week but for the next month, the uploads might be spread out a bit more than I was intending.  

Now for the good news!  On my new Facebook page I’ve put up a few links you might find interesting.  You can find it here https://www.facebook.com/AuthorKatherineGanzel  While you’re there, give it a like!  One link is to the first picture I saw of the girl who became the model for Georgie’s face.  This is a picture I haven’t used in any of the banners and if you click the link, you’ll see her entire photo shoot.  I’ve also put up two links to pictures of guys with curly hair.  No, neither of them are Robert!  LOL!  

I’ve never found my Robert because I never imagined Robert to be handsome in the classical sense.  Unfortunately, most of the pictures I’ve found of guys with long curly hair are good looking - too good looking!  LOL!  Check out the pictures, and weigh in with your thoughts about what Robert looks like.  And if there’s someone you always imagined in your head as Robert, please post a link to his video or picture on the page so everyone else can see it.  I might plan something fun around all your posts next week!  

Thank you to all my followers/readers for all your support!  It means a lot to me!  Have a great weekend!

@lennwebster You just wrote the story of my life!  LOL!  Don't worry about it.  I'm not one to judge other people's writing harshly.  For me, it's all about the story.

@KatherineArlene umm I'm very critical about posting it up on the world wide web. Some days I think why did I even join wattpad after reading or seeing other peoples works, cough like everyone in the loyal order ;) 
Mine needs to be edited so bad, I worked up an edit of the first couple of chapters but I don't think I even edited it properly. Then I gave up and ate some chocolate haha!

@hunterdowell Hey Hunter!  Thanks for deciding to follow me!  LOL!  I'm pretty old.  I'm a mom and my two daughters are almost 21 and 17 so that gives you a pretty good clue.  Welcome to WP btw and if you have any questions or anything, just ask me.  :)
