Member Since

February 2016

Katie is a science educator at the Museum of Science in Boston, where she coordinates school visits, does presentations with alligators and liquid nitrogen (not usually at the same time), and runs the rooftop observatory program. With an academic background in paleontology, she only began dabbling in astronomy when she joined the Museum in 2009. It soon became a major passion, and spilled straight over into her writing life.

Katie lives in a suburb of Boston with her two completely absurd cats, Galileo and Darwin. She is represented by Ammi-Joan Paquette of the Erin Murphy Literary Agency.

Adorable and hilarious! This is sure to get any kid laughing. The art matches perfectly with the prose, and you can find gags on every page. A very cute whodunit, with an ending fit for anyone with a sense of humor.
