Kat Caldwell

This Wisconsinite cherishes her early childhood outside, but asthma soon forced her indoors where she discovered a world through books. She started to as a very young kid, primarily 'fan fiction' of the books she had just read, though she didn't know the name for it.

Kat continued to write through middle and high school, but soon found herself pressured by the people around her to pursue a 'real job/real degree'. Instead she traveled a bit while trying to finish a linguistics degree...which she has never really put to use other than learning to speak languages.

Finding herself fired in the crisis of 2008, Kat set about reviving her dream to be a writer. After trying her hand at blogging and writing for online magazines, and having three little rambunctious girls, she wrote several books that she is now able to publish through her own company, Ladwell Publishing. It is an exciting time in the publishing industry and Kat is happy to be part of it.
