About Kathy
Kathy grew up exploring the rolling hills of a Kentucky tobacco and dairy farm. But she left home a long time ago and did something most women don’t get to do – she became an FBI Special Agent.
At the end of a 26-year career, having lived and worked throughout the United States and overseas in India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, and Mongolia, she moved back to the United States, retired, and wrote her first book, a memoir, It’s Not About the Gun: Lessons from My Global Career as a Female FBI Agent.
Writing has become Kathy’s new passion, so she is currently working on her next book, a nonfiction narrative about the female American soldiers and nurses who served in India and China during World War II.
In addition to researching her new book project, she is studying for her Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and learning to speak Portuguese. In her spare time, she refinishes and reupholsters unique pieces of antique furniture with fabrics and textiles she’s collected from around the world. Wherever she travels, Kathy never passes up a chance to browse bookstores to add to her collection, which numbers in the thousands.
The horizon beckoned once again, so Kathy and her husband, Keith, moved to Portugal with their cat, Devi. In addition to exploring their European backyard, they continue to revisit some of their favorite places in the world, to include India, New Zealand, Thailand, and Sri Lanka.
Boas Viagens! Happy Travels!
