Kathy writes novels that explore the relationships in our lives, romantic and otherwise. She likes digging into the choices people make and how those choices take us down unexpected paths to places we might never consciously have decided to go. Never one to see things in straight lines or in black and white, almost all her stories have more than one timeline connected by a common thread woven through multiple shades of grey and all the colours of the spectrum. Kathy writes as Kathy Kenzie.

Two years ago, I spent the last two nights of a brief trip to Scotland staying in the guest house in the picture. It was an absolute … - On Writer’s BlockI’ll let you in on a secret: I haven’t written a word in two months. This is a highly unusual state of affairs for me. Even when the words aren’t flowing easily, and there have been lots of times when they haven’t, there are words most days, or at least most weeks. Only deliberate vacations, …
