A long time ago, in an elementary school far, far away, a very young Kathleen scribbled a story idea in her journal. Then she wrote another, and another. She added several poems, the lyrics to a song or two, a love letter to David Cassidy, and so on and so on. While her early writings never saw the light of day, many of her later works did. And while she did not marry David Cassidy, Kathleen did marry her own Prince Charming. Together, they are raising one drama queen and one obedience-challenged border collie mix in a kingdom divided between suburban Philadelphia and the Jersey shore. Kathleen is the RITA® nominated, RIO Award and two-time Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence winning author of fourteen novels of contemporary romance, suspense and women's fiction. Her additional honors include National Readers Choice, Holt Medallion, and Booksellers Best award nominations. She divides her time between plotting her next book, bribing her little one to pick up her toys, and begging the dog to heel. Life is good. Very, very good.

You're very welcome! And thankyou, I will continue writing so please keep reading! :)
@TrishMcCallan Thanks, Trish! Warmest wishes for your continued success. ;o)
Hi Kathleen, thanks for becoming a fan and welcome to Wattpad!
Oh, that's funny, Ireanne! Sorry for misunderstanding. My little one is six and also "obedience-challenged." She's too smart for her own good. I'm in for it. ;o) So, I understand your adventure! LOL
@KathleenLong LOL I was actually talking about my 6 year old son :) We are working with him. Boys are challenging :) I call him my "bruiser" because he is hard on everything and add that to the drama and it makes for quite an adventure in our household :)
So nice to meet you, Ireanne! Your dog sounds much like ours, except ours is a young three years old. Too funny about your drama queen -- they are something else, aren't they? Thank you for reading the opening of Chasing Rainbows. It's definitely intense to start. She's truly got nowhere to go but up. ;o) Have a great weekend!
I love your "about me". I also have a "drama queen" but add to that my 6 year old "bruiser" who is also obedience-challenged :) Very intense first chapter of Chasing Rainbows. Emma is a beautiful name and I love the idea of a memory box. I love how Bernie quit her job and the adventure begins no doubt! :)
@KathleenLong My pleasure!
@EdieRamer Great to see you, too, Edie. Thanks for fanning me!
