About this author

edit data

Kate grew up in Syracuse, New York, and attended college in Buffalo, where she studied illustration, design, Jane Austen, and Canada. After a year in Philadelphia spent dressing up as your favorite childhood characters at a Barnes & Noble (her interpretation of Arthur the Anteater made a small child cry), she moved to Boston for graduate school, where she received her MFA from Emerson College. Now she calls Boston home. She likes chowder but not lobster, and has been a bassoonist, a planetarium operator, a coffee jerk, a designer, a proposal writer, a prospect researcher, and a karaoke god. So far.
