  <about><![CDATA[Kate Schatz lives in Oakland, CA with her future-husband, her always-sister, and her  ever-present dog and two cats. She is the author of &lt;i&gt;Rid of Me: A Story&lt;/i&gt;, published by Continuum Press as part of their beloved 33 1/3 series. She is also the co-founder and editor of The Encyclopedia Project. Kate received her MFA in Fiction Writing at Brown University, and she currently teaches writing at San Jose State and UC Santa Cruz. She is currently working on a novel about her family, electroshock therapy, Christian Science, and mid-20th century California, as well as a collection of stories called &lt;i&gt;Help You To See Forever Too&lt;/i&gt;. Kate will be voting for Barack Obama in November. Also, she feels weird about writing bios in the third person, as if it is someone else, and not me, who is writing this right now.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[spooky things, what people say, words in my head, television, forests, Shirley Jackson, Jessica Mitford, cats, wee hours of the night, joy and awfulness, explosions/apocalyptic scenarios, Gertrude Stein, my friends, California]]></influences>  <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>San Jose</hometown>  <born_at>09/19/1978</born_at>
