Librarian's Treasure is a little fantasy, a little mystery, and a lot
to love.
Hi! Thank you for having me. A popular question for authors that I’ve noticed is a version of “How long have you wanted to become an author / why did you become an author / is being an author your chosen career” so, I thought I’d jump right in on that train of thought for today’s post.
Forever. No, really. I started “making books” from cardboard and paper and ribbon as a little girl. My parents were always happy to read my scribbles. As a pre-teen, I even “self-published” a newsletter from our desktop computer and printer, charging my (married) parents separately to read about school or poems that I’d written and jokes from my little sister. I love words. The possibilities of words. The evasiveness of words. The magic that is making your words say something that brings a picture to life for you or others when those words are read.
Now, don’t get me wrong – some days my words are bogged down and written in a fog of exhaustion and they come out as low-bar as you can imagine. I have so much room for improvement, as do most people in most careers if they are honest, but I thoroughly enjoy writing for the creativity of it. I became an author when I looked up from my day job one day and remembered my dreams; those dreams as a girl and teenager of seeing a book with my name on it, they came rushing back as I sat angrily at my desk annoyed at some coworker or customer for yet another ridiculous request. I knew that I wanted to at least take a shot at doing something that brought me happiness instead of ulcers. Even if it meant that I failed. I haven’t failed yet because I’m still pursuing this passion of weaving words together and seeing them hit the page to create a story that nobody has ever heard before. Now, I’m not a best-seller or financially at peace with my author career at this point, but that is okay because my theory is that you have to start at the bottom of any corporate ladder and work your way up; I’m willing to do the work.
I hope that readers who find my books find friends in the characters, find adventure in the pages, and find something beautiful or unique in the scenes. If they do, I’m a success already.
Katherine
Brown is a Texas girl with books in her blood. She has been reading
as long as she can remember and has been “making books” from the
time she was a child. Her first few were of a non-traditional binding
– cardboard & wrapping paper stapled with handwritten pages in
the middle & a ribbon closure! Her love of books runs deep and
she hopes to encourage readers of all ages to explore and use their
imagination by helping them fall in love with books just like she
did. Katherine is married to a wonderful man, Patrick, and has a
spunky, smart, amazing step-daughter Lexi. Lexi is the biggest fan of
this author’s first published series, School is Scary, and is
constantly asking when the next book will be finished so she can read
it too.
When not writing or reading, you can often find Katherine
eating chocolate or enjoying time with family.
