Katherine Ladny Mitchell wrote her first literary work - bound with rainbow-colored shoelaces - at age seven. Decades later, she still delights in weaving words together to craft intriguing, uplifting stories. 

A graduate of Covenant College with a B.A. in Sociology, Katherine has freelanced for years with narratives and articles in Tea Time Magazine, Chicken Soup for the Soul, a local health magazine, and a couple anthologies. She's also authored three books available on Amazon.com (all ranked 4.7 stars or higher) and signed a book contract with Bandersnatch Books in September 2023 for her new cozy murder mystery series. The first book is due to be released in the summer of 2025!

​

When she's not writing, you can find Katherine singing and dancing, taking tea with her husband, caring for 50+ animals on her new TN homestead, and educating her five Mitchell munchkins. She also enjoys fire-breathing and fire poi-twirling on occasion - just to shake things up.
