About the Author

Kathleen is a speaker, author and bullying crusader. Her books are fun to read and they always have a message of love and acceptance. She enjoys travel & experiencing new cultures. She writes a blog and contributes to various publications.

This is first book in the "Magical Adventure" saga. Her husband, Hiren, is from India. Kathleen spent extensive time traveling throughout India and learning about the culture firsthand. In fact, many scenes in the book are based on Hiren's experiences as a young man.

"This book is important because it is fun to read, full of magic and adventure, but most importantly it has an educational aspect to it. So many Indian families have immigrated and are raising their children in America, yet most Americans know very little about the Indian culture. With ignorance comes fear- from fear comes bigotry. Education is the key to acceptance." ~Kathleen Patel
