United States

Katherine S. Stafford is a multi-faceted and fearlessly growing writer. A graduate of UC Santa Cruz in American Studies and Columbia University School of Nursing in Nursing Science, she likes to use both sides of her brain, but not without first consulting her heart. Her freelance writing and blogging has focused on her passions for aviation and health. She has published with Hera Aviation Group, General Aviation News, Aviation for Women and Temptation Press. In her capacity as a registered nurse, several of her public health pieces were published in a regional California newspaper. In 2023 she self-published a book of poetry she wrote over 30 plus years called The Back Forty. She has completed a contemporary fiction novel and a romance novel with steamy sequels to come. Currently, she is working on a coming-of-age novella about a woman with ADHD learning to live and love, awkwardly.
