Writing for me is as natural as breathing and as indispensible. The stories unfold endlessly, begging to be told.

Background
Information
|
|
A life-long resident of Illinois, I began writing short stories in junior high and high school and moved on to novella-length stories (handwritten), read mainly by family and friends. My love of writing took a back seat to earning a living when I graduated high school and took a job as a typist in Chicago’s Loop. My husband and I were married soon after, now more than 35 years ago. Together we moved around to several suburbs as we each pursued college degrees and careers.
We recently moved to a new house in the western suburbs of Chicago. After a long career as a computer programmer, I got serious about doing something with my writing around 2002. The Dreamer Gambit, published in 2011 by Write Words, Inc., was my first success in that endeavor, and I now have three different mystery series going: The Jack Watson Series (Dreamer was the first volume) followed by The Faces Series (three Tracy Wiley books) and The Windsong Lake Series (Dabblers plus a sequel, Seer, Tyro, Fiend, coming soon). I also sometimes write short stories which can be found here and on my Google site, Kathryn Flatt, Writer.
"Mystery, suspense, science fiction, thrillers--especially with a touch of romance--I love them all!"
