Kathy Wile lives in Mississippi with her husband and three dogs. She began writing at age 35. Though she has always loved the written word, Kathy merely minored in English. She received her degree in art with an emphasis in graphic design from The University of Mississippi in 2001, and she put it to use first as a graphic designer for The Oxford Eagle newspaper. Now, she is a painter at Etta B Pottery who spends weekends and holidays crafting novels. As time permits, she also enjoys painting landscapes and writing songs.
