BIO

Kathi Reed was born in Brooklyn, grew up in Queens, N.Y. and spent her impressionable years in Briarcliff Manor in Westchester County, N.Y. in the days before houses cost the GDP of a small nation. She attended Lasell College in Boston, and worked in New York City at The New Yorker Magazine, Time-Life, and Random House. She owned a video/music store in the Cincinnati area for nine years; travelled the back roads of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky as a sales rep for a video distributor; and worked as a mortgage loan officer. Her dream was to write, and after years experimenting with alternative methods she realized that if she wanted to have a book published, she had to actually write one. She now lives in Cincinnati, OH, a city that she loves.
