Profile Information
- Who I am:
- I was raised in the northeastern United States, in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, and resided in a half-dozen homes or towns throughout my growing up years. My father was a reverend with a flourishing career, moving the family to various parishes as his calling dictated, which I view in a positive light as I was exposed to different communities and lifestyles. After graduating from high school at the age of seventeen, I shook off my less worldly roots when I moved with my father to Massachusetts, a seemingly more sophisticated and progressive state. It was there that I embarked on a learning journey, thrilled at living so close to the sea in the artsy and historic fishing village of Gloucester, the hex signs and covered bridges soon a fond memory.
Thrilled to begin college in New England, I jumped in with both feet and managed to excel in biological and psychological studies, despite majoring in dating. Throughout my school years, I dabbled in poetry and short stories, purely for personal self-expression. I experimented with a couple of creative writing classes, but never pursued my secret desire of a writing career, feeling the vocation was too self-indulgent, not sensible enough for my German blood. I remained focused on psychology and received a Bachelor of Arts degree, upon which I secured my very first “real” job as a Senior Psychiatric Counselor at a group home for adults with mental illness. Wanting to further my learning, I attended Suffolk University in Beacon Hill in Boston, and graduated two years later, obtaining a Masters degree in Counseling and Human Relations.
Soon afterward, feeling weighed down by too many sunless days and frigid winters, I decided to move to a much lighter state, and settled in bustling Pinellas County in southwestern Florida. Over the next twenty years I concentrated further on my work in counseling and social services and became a licensed practitioner. During these years, my career included being a social services director for a nursing center, program manager for a rehabilitation agency, social services consultant for nursing centers, program director of an Alzheimer’s unit, and a hospice counselor.
Several years ago, due to a deep longing to express my feelings in an alternative manner, I literally sat down one day and began writing my first novel. The resultant book, The Resurrection of Hannah, had been born out of a series of powerful dreams, along with compelling and coexisting experiences that inspired me to create a story that would capture the strength of my emotions. I had a yearning to shape a tale based around individuals in my life that I believed would make engaging characters. I had a strong desire to experience a higher level of creativity, to literally produce something out of nothing– a fascinating and challenging endeavor I could not ignore. It was during this time that I moved for a short duration to Houston, Texas where I became a clinical hypnotherapist and a nationally certified counselor, as well as starting a private practice as a psychotherapist.
But I grew “antsy” as my father used to say and decided to move back to friends and family in Florida and worked again at the local Hospice, then more recently in community mental health. Once bitten by the writing bug, I could not help but pen my second work of fiction, The Fear of Things to Come. I am now in the process of writing another novel in what I consider a unique collection of adventure stories, the third in the Samantha Clark Mystery Series.

Holiday stress-even Gingy feels it!

Holiday stress is everywhere, the season seems to have become more overwhelming, hectic, and excessive with each passing year. Gingy, the beloved gingerbread man from the engaging Shrek movies, has also appeared in two delightful holidays shows. But alas, half the time poor Gingy seems…

For as long as I can remember, I have believed in the existence of signs from loved ones who have passed away. Certainly on a cerebral level, but much more so on an emotional and spiritual level. Maybe it is because I do believe in messages from those who have exited this life that I am…

I admit it! I am powerless over my addiction, and need to turn my obsession with all-things-sweet over to my higher power. Does anyone know if there is a 12-Step program for those with a dangerously out-of-control sweet tooth?? My love story with sugar started when I was a child. Back when I was a…

I must hold dear this thought, as my mother would have wanted me to. To me, this quote by the late writer, Robert Benchley, succinctly states the sum of all love. Fortunately, it is what many of us accept as truth, whatever one’s religious or personal beliefs about death. When love…

Aithne Jarretta said… - Hi Kathryne. Thanks for the friendship. So glad you enjoyed the trailer for Concentric Circles. That video was made in Windows Moviemaker. I used a combination of images purchased from stock photo sites and two video (cars racing & clouds) clips from istockphoto.com. If you've never done it before it's a learning curve, but once you master it and see what you've made it's like that feeling you get when you're finished with your book. ;D Good Luck. ~ Aithne

Nancy Mueller said… - I find it challenging to keep up as well, Kathryne so I'm resigned to not even trying! I want to be supportive by commenting on other writers' blogs, but can't do so as much as I'd like. I think each of us have to find what part of SheWrites is best for us. I don't think there's any once-size-fits-all approach. I'm still tweaking the amount of time I spend here myself - and keep up with my own writing!

Patricia Sands said… - Hello Kathryne - Thanks for connecting with me. I've been incredibly remiss in participating in She Writes since I joined. I try to find time to read the articles but have contributed very little myself. So much to do, SO little time. I'm going to make an effort to change that so thanks for bringing me back into the fold!

Meg Waite Clayton said… - Kathryne, Welcome to the novelist group! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that!

Nichole L. Reber left a comment for Sandra Marchetti"Actually, yes, I love that idea. Sounds like a triple win.
Sounds like everything you've thought to add is exactly what I'd suggest.
When would you like to post it? You're welcome to do it this month, if you'd like.
Cheers
