Becoming a novelist has taught me to write, edit, and endure the perpetual process of rejection and acceptance.

Katherine McCarty received her Bachelor of Arts in Literature from Miami University of Ohio and her Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in Georgia. Since she was young, she knew she would be a writer amidst the multitude of professions that intrigued her—it has been the dream that has accompanied all others.

Since moving to San Francisco, she started her own chiropractic office, runs a non-profit organization, and writes for local newsletters. Katherine’s greatest passions, outside of a good book, are traveling the world with her wife and daughter, studying herbalism, and surfing the California coastline.
