ⓘ About Kate Mckeever
Kate McKeever Kate McKeever grew up making stories in her head. The characters were gleaned from her time spent reading hundreds of books. She grew up in the south and spent her young years wandering in the woods, often taking a book with her. Libraries have been her passion from the time as a child through adulthood. She’s had several careers before settling down to being a writer. It’s her passion. It’s her joy. Ms. McKeever loves writing a variety of romances- contemporary, military, suspense, and paranormal. Ms. McKeever did an interview for the blog Terry’s Place. She generously shared her thoughts and feelings about her life and her writing. She says she tends to plan out her stories rather then write from the seat of her pants. (aka “panther” rather than plotter.
