When I’m not writing, I can be found strolling the streets of Brooklyn, New York City, my adopted home, dodging pigeons and traffic. I moved here a little over eight years ago from Ireland, and never looked back. To me there’s nothing more wonderful than that feeling of finding – or making! – a new home, that mixture of excitement at finding a place in the world, and the comfort of being able to come back to it -

The Full Story

Katherine Carter lives in Arizona, USA with her 3 cats and approximately 142 book boyfriends she's collected over the years. As an avid reader, Katherine escaped between the pages, losing herself in the adventures and fantasy and romance. She'd always dreamed of writing, but had always thought it too out of reach.

Jennifer Gannett
Jennifer Gannett is an author. Finally. She wrote many things prior to I Would for You, including, but not limited to: short stories, mostly about dogs until her parents broke down and got her one, poems for every holiday and birthday because her elementary school budget was limited and most likely spent at Scholastic Book Fairs, and later love letters to boys, which she never signed for fear of being implicated. She mainly writes at hockey rinks and horse shows -- which would explain why some characters have horse names -- loving both locations equally, but horse shows are typically warmer. She lives outside of Boston with her husband, three children, and two quirky, sweet, black dogs (both are quirky, only one is sweet).
