Katrina Avant

Author Katrina Avant doesn’t let limits prevent her from experiencing innovative ways to set new rules and life goals. As a salon owner, Katrina accumulated countless subjects and characters woven throughout her novels. But it was her own experiences that prompted the birth of her first absorbing tale, The Touch of a Man’s Heart, which led to her most popular reads, the Metro City series. Keeping in the style of creating new rules, Katrina has penned other fan favorites such as, Mama Said Keep Your Dress Tail Down, and its sequel written under the pen name Olivia M. Dutton.

Feeling the need to create and conquer more goals, Katrina left cosmetology and ventured into the world of health and fitness, as a nutrition educator with the University of Arkansas Extension Service. After spending many fulfilling years teaching the importance of eating healthy, she expanded her boundaries and is a former lieutenant with her state’s Department of Corrections.
