A voracious reader from the age of four, Kay has shaped her world through reading. It is also her strength and vision to receive from others the utmost fulfillment through writing. As part of the Milcreek Pond Collection: "Milcreek Pond" and "Indigo Sky" are adventurous true-to-life stories of historical fiction written with youth and the entire family in mind. "Alex's Eyes" is the true saga of life after Reconstruction as seen through the eyes of her great-grandparents, Alex and Molly Powell. The Milcreek Pond Book Series has won many awards and much recognition, including 2019 Semi-Finalist North Street Book Prize. Kay, a high school history teacher who will soon retire to write full time, lives in the Midwestern Illinois Heartland with her husband, her most devoted fan.
