Kathy Hahn

As a child, whenever Kathy was asked what she wanted to be, her answers covered the usual range of everything, from astronaut to professional athlete to police officer/firefighter to . . . What made her answer different, though, was that no matter the chosen career, she would always add " . . . and write about it." This, of course, was only added when the intitial response was anything other than "be a writer"--which truly has always been her main goal.

Fifty-odd years later, Kathy has amassed a lifetime of work that includes many essays, short stories, novellas and even a few novels--all of which, sadly, line a closet shelf and occasionally get dusted off for re-writing and hope of eventual publishing purposes. On a more practical note, Kathy has successfully written, researched and/or edited for Greenhaven Press, Atlantic Publications and the World Bank. She also proofreads professionally and enjoys desktop publishing.

Kathy currently lives in her hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. She shares her 1865 home with (at present) one dog, three cats, and whatever wildlife happens to stray in from the adjacent forest.
