CHAT WITH KATIE OLIVER


KatieOliver


Katie Olivercurrently resides in northern Virginia with her husband and three parakeets, in a rambling old house with uneven floors and a dining room that leaks when it rains.


She’s been writing off and on since she was eight, and has a box crammed with (mostly unfinished) novels to prove it. With her sons grown and gone, Katie decided to get serious and write more (and hopefully, better) stories.

CHAT WITH JULIA HUGHES


JuliaPhillipsHeadshotWhen I’m not writing, I’m reading. The fact that it is so easy to share emotions, experiences and adventures by almost by thought transference via the written word enthrals me.
