About the Author

Kathleen J Kidder is the author of six hand bound children's books. Her love for writing began as a child when she wrote her first short story for a third-grade assignment. Kathleen was an avid reader and credits her beloved grandmother, Sarah Landis, with sparking her curiosity about what lies between the pages of a book. Inspired by authors like Gertrude Chandler Warner (Box Car Children) and Carolyn Keene (Nancy Drew Mysteries), Kathleen developed an imagination that would lead to the creativity she displayed throughout her lifetime. Her talent is shared with us today in her writing, crafting, and graphic design. Kathleen's early writing can be found on her blog entitled "Living on the Potter's Wheel - Brokenness to Breakthrough ". In 1995 "It Always Ends the Same" written under the pen name Kat Ryan, received an Editor's Choice Award from the National Library of Poetry and was published in "Seasons to Come". Kathleen, born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and the oldest of six children, now lives with her husband in the Nashville, Tennessee area near five of their nine grandchildren. Her greatest desire is to inspire families to love God, believe that He loves them and to love one another.
