The Name
KatieMae is the endearing nickname my Dad gave me. It has stuck with me over the years and one that I decided to use for my pen name as a writer.

The Person
I am an encourager and a believer that people can do anything they set their minds to regardless what this world may throw at them.

The Writer
I have written poems, short stories, letters to my children, a children’s book and am currently working on a fiction piece.
I had the privilege of an early read of “Birthday Balloons For Grandpa” and was moved by the simple beauty and truth of seeing death and resurrection through the eyes of a child. The story took me back to when I was 8 and lost my grandpa. This book gives hope and understanding to what really happens upon the death of a loved one and even though I am 64, renewed my love for my grandpa and the assurance that I will celebrate with him again.

My 7-year-old daughter recently read this book and found it very entertaining. I had her tell me in detail what she read and didn’t have difficulty understanding what she read.
I could see it sparked her imagination as she saw the journey Andrew went through to see his dear grandpa. The book has a great message for those who have lost someone special in their lives. She now wants to send balloons to send a special message to those who’ve recently passed just as Andrew did.

I had the privilege of seeing this book from its beginning and blossom into a great children’s book. “Birthday Balloons for Grandpa” is a simple and fun book to read, not only for children, but adults alike. It is a wonderful and enlightening story of a young boy who misses his grandpa so much that he finds a way to visit him in Heaven. Any child who has lost a loved one will surely benefit from this book. If you have a child, grandchild or great grandchild, I highly recommend this as a gift to them.
