fiddling with words. She serves as a
publicist for Glass Road Public Relations,
and still writes and edits on the side. A
variety of her columns and book reviews
appear online and in print publications.
She is somewhat of a grammar guru, with
columns for writers appearing in three
publications, including ByLine Magazine.
She was copy editor for The Sunday
Challenger (Covington, KY) prior to
working from home. One of her favorite
ministries is encouraging other writers.
She is a writer's coach and mentor,
owning two online critique groups to
assist others in seeing their words in
print. Kathy, and her husband Russ have
enjoyed more than a quarter of a century
together and share their home with two
fur-children, Jazzy and Libby.
