Music
Deep love for history, place, and the emotional power of song.
Writing
From the windswept bluffs of Prince Edward Island to the spa towns of post-Soviet Slovakia, my love of storytelling was born from a childhood spent living inside books and history. Ever since Anne of Green Gables first captured my heart, writing has been both a calling and a way of seeing the world—through curiosity, imagination, and deep respect for the past. Over the years, my passion for history, music, and uncovering human stories has grown into a lifelong pursuit: to create vivid, life-giving narratives that connect us to one another and to the places we come from.
Rusudan
RUSUDAN is speculative fiction set in early 2000s California and Medieval Georgia. Imaginative, lush, and character-driven, with elements of the fantastical. On a bookshelf, it might sit between WEYWARD and THE BEAR AND THE NIGHTINGALE
About Kathleen
A California native, Kathleen's music is a collection of poetry and storytelling that reflects life and love on the Central Coast of California. Pulling from the traditions of old-school country music, early-American folk and gospel, and singer-songwriters such as Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Josh Ritter, and Allison Krauss, Kathleen’s clear and tranquil voice and lyrics combine to create a fresh and soulful style of Americana-folk.
"Emotive intelligence, place-setting compositions and a gorgeous silky voice are Kathleen's greatest allies. Powered by a quiet urgency, I imagine most of her songs as the backdrop for cathartic moments in dramatic film or love stories performed on the stage"
- Ryan Spaulding, Boston Music Critic "Ryan's Smashing Life"
