I have a bachelors in creative writing and my head in the clouds. I’ve written 8 complete novels, as well as many valiant starts, and have finally written one I want to release into the world.

My heart will forever lie with fantasy, but I also enjoy writing a personal essay here and there (check my blog for a taste). A couple of these essays have been printed in publications like Bella Grace Magazine, and The Rough Notes Company.

I am currently working on rewriting my latest novel, dubbed “TCW” or “TW+HD,” and hope to query later this year.

Hi! I’m Katherine Rae, and I write books.

I live in East Tennessee in a cute old house with my husband, Dakota, and my dog, Roo. Dakota and I met at work in an insurance company’s marketing department. Ironically, we watched The Office together as “just friends.”

But when he read every book I recommended him, including my favorite series (the whole thing), I knew he was the one.
