Katie started writing after her husband, Charlie, died of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis; Lou Gehrig’s Disease). Charlie was diagnosed in July 2013, just one-month shy of his fortieth birthday. As ALS stole all of Charlie’s physical abilities, Katie became his full-time caregiver. He battled the disease for three years and passed away on October 12, 2016.
Katie and Charlie met while on active duty in the U.S. Navy and married in 1994 on the beach in La Jolla. They have one daughter. Katie and her daughter recently moved to Maine from their home state of Texas in search of “Silver Town.” They look forward to enjoying the first of many white Christmases in their near future.
