ⓘ About Kathryn Shay
After school, as a failsafe “fall-back’ strategy, she studied teaching and obtained a degree that she never intended to use. While attending a small private college for women in upstate New York, she took every writing workshop and class available in her quest to become a writer. But her road to becoming a successful author was not a straight one. During teaching practice, a requirement for her degree, she fell in love with teaching. “When I first stood in front of the class, I just knew it was for me”, she said. And so she launched into a successful career teaching adolescents at a New York state school, got married and became a mother. But once a writer, always a writer. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of About The Baby Books series, Kathryn Shay 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.
