I just released my novel "Amy's Own" through my new indie publishing company Lovely Pubs that I'm running with two partners to promote our work.

I also started my blog Keeping Sane. If you get a chance to visit and read, let me know what you think!

I have had my own business for ten years (Kat Ward Photography). To see my images, visit katward.com.

I just moved to South Pasadena with my teenage daughter. It's a lovely, quiet change after 11 years in Hollywood. The best part is we are now eight minutes from her school versus half an hour and my shower is huge in comparison to the closet shower where I banged my elbows to wash my hair or knocked my head while bending over to shave my legs! It's the small things that matter...

I have written two manuscripts, "Headwinds" and "Amy's Own." I am currently working on my third, "Keeping Sane, and Other Aspirations." I have written a few non-fiction essays and articles. I have never been published. Last week, I just received my first editing credit for a self-help workbook ("Where Are You Stuck?") that shall be published in July of this year. I currently got a paid part-time writing gig for the website Hometown Pasadena. I'm being paid to write! I am thrilled above and beyond.

I do love editing and copyediting, and would like to work with someone on their project (fiction or non-fiction).
