Kathy was born in Presque Isle, Maine. How she ended up in Texas, Colorado, and then Oklahoma is as much a mystery to her as anyone. She graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma with a BA in Management Information Systems and a minor in Vocal Music.

Kathy/Kae lives with her musically talented husband in Edmond, Oklahoma, has one grown daughter and a bossy cat! Other passions include fantasy football, NBA, travel and musical theatre.

Kathy has generously offered to gift a copy of one of her books (your choice! e-book only). all you have to do to be eligible is leave a comment below. She will be here all day to answer your questions and reply to your comments.

Okay, Kathy, you’re on!

If you are ever in the need for a Romance Writers Conference, let me recommend the New Jersey’s conference held in Iselin, New Jersey.

Imagine, my dear romance writing friend, you are seated at the bar chatting to fellow attendees, when suddenly you are surrounded by the likes of Julie Ann Long, Julianne MacLean, Miranda Neville, Madeline Hunter, and keynote speaker — Sharon Sala. I thought I’d died and gone to Romance Writing Heaven.

The romance writing adventures and advice from such seasoned professionals flowed around me like the winds of a southern plains storm. So much to revel in. So much to learn!

Will I make it to their level?  Time will only tell.

What did I learn?  To persevere. I will not give up….I will not give up….I will not give up…

I wrote this over a year ago after I attended the Put Your Heart in a Book Conference in Iselin, New Jersey.  The parade of speakers presented was a star-studded list for the romance world that left me breathless.

What, might you ask, does this have to do with today? Plenty, when I tell you the topic of this discussion is Networking. Who do you know? Who might you meet? Who can help you?

AND:  Who can YOU help?

Yes, Networking is all about give and take. Of course, when someone asks you something about you, you answer. That’s a given. But what can you give in return? Start with asking them questions about them. Even better—listen to what they have to say.

That my friend, the truest gift you have to offer.

What about you? What do you consider to be your gift?
