I haven’t written here in years, but it seems like the theme for 2021 is picking up where we left off, so here I am. A lot has happened in the last year or so, you don’t need me to tell you that. Suddenly, though, almost overnight the spell seems to have...

I’m Kathryn Van Auken (pronounced van awwken) and I’m a writer and maker living in Colorado with my husband and two Westie dogs (and a parrot, but he’s a twit, so I don’t count him).
