When Wren was a little girl, she never wanted to be a writer. In fact, she aspired to be a pharmacist, and she achieved that life goal about a decade ago. However, the spark for creating stories lit in the back row of her high school history class during her sophomore year, and passing notes to her best friends led her to create her very first character. From there, it was wild fire, and she has been weaving fantastical tales ever since. Wren is a world traveler, but fondly calls the corn fields of north central Indiana home. She currently resides in Western New York with her four children - her daughter, her husband, and her two dogs. ​Writer of romance, fantasy, and romantic fantasy, her stories feature strong, relatable heroines, swoon-worthy heroes, and nail biting escapades. Sometimes, if you look close enough, there's even a dragon or two. Pharmacist by day, author by night, she wears many hats, which also means she takes up most of the closet space. Obsessed with elephants, cute video games, and books with fierce heroines and sexy heroes, she is also addicted to social media, much to her husband's chagrin.

"Hmmmmmm, Who am I?…Who am I? Silence…chews pencil… Who am I?…Who am I? Hmmmmmm, I am… a daydreamer…a hopeless romantic…an optimistic pessimist…a psychic…a childish adult…an animal lover…an over-emotional wreck…an adventurer…an artistic fool… Aha! I am…A Fiction Writer! Nice to meet you!" About the author! I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche. Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time. To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn't open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn't need to be a reason or trigger. People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years. I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don't ever let anyone tell you different. I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes - I want them to know they are making a difference. Thank you for reading and writing.

My name is Katherine D. Graham, and I am a USA Today Bestselling fantasy author, developmental editor, and Reedsy Reviewer. My debut indie Epic Fantasy novel, The Vow That Twisted Fate, is an Amazon bestselling New Adult Fantasy and Occult Fiction novel, a Fantasy finalist in the 2021 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, and a five-star IndieReader-approved novel. In October 2022, the first full-length volume in my Splitting Worlds series (Splitting Dawn) was included in the "Realm of Darkness" box set, which made the USAToday Bestseller list. Looking around my Goodreads, you may see a couple of older books that I wrote back in college which are now unpublished. I leave those books here and continue under this pen name purposefully. Even as I now write 4/5-star books, these older books remind me of where I started. I hope my journey encourages others that everyone has the potential to grow if you just keep trying. As a reviewer, all of my reviews are spoiler-free and honest. They are based on the Reedsy rating scale, which is: 1-Star: Skip It 2-Star: Not For Me 3-Star: Worth Reading 4-Star Loved It 5-Star: Must-Read I am happily married to my high-school sweetheart and Hero. We have two awesome sons and three adorable fur-daughters. I love reading, writing, swimming, traveling, grilling out, and playing video games. Japan is my happy place.

I have always had a fascination with fantasy novels, and when I started writing I loved creating worlds. No one read my work. Five years ago I decided to publish a story I wrote for my son, and now I love it when people enjoy what I write. I was born in New Zealand, lived a lot of my adult life in England, then when my son was a baby we moved to Sydney, Australia. I share a house with with my husband, our son, our dog Trouble and an over-active kitten called Lola. When I am not writing I love reading, walking the dog, craft activities and good movies. One day I am sure I will grow up, but hopefully not too soon, and when I do I would like to be exactly what I am now, and what I have always dreamed I would be—a writer.

I've been concerning teachers and parents with mercilessly grim tales since I was roughly nine years old. Since then, my stories have gotten (slightly) less depressing and (hopefully a lot?) more readable. Today, I write fantasy novels with a heaping dose of badass ladies and a big pinch of romance. When I'm not writing, I'm working at my day job in cybersecurity marketing, watching too many movies, or drawing. I live with my fiancé, one very well behaved rabbit, one very poorly behaved rabbit, and one perpetually skeptical cat in Rhode Island.
