ⓘ About Katherine Heiny
The germ of an idea typically begins with something from her own life. Like “Damascus”, from “Games and Rituals”, where a mom believes that her son is high on life, before she realizes that he is probably just high. Her son came home from working at the supermarket, looking incredibly happy. It made her think that he loved his job and he’s high on life. Then she was shocked she even thought such a thing. Katherine is the youngest of three, and grew up in Midland, Michigan, which is the headquarters of the Dow Chemical Company. She says that basically everybody there was a scientist. Her mom was a chemist and her dad was a chemical engineer. It was almost as though her parents had brought the wrong baby home from the hospital. Everybody kept asking why she couldn’t do math. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Katherine Heiny has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
