Welcome back to our author interviews! In this episode our host Courtney Interviews Kathy Nichols, author of "Heart and Humor", "Trust Issues", and "The Sometimes Sister". Learn about her advice to those aspiring readers & writers, what inspired her to right, and what her schedule is like when writing!
Katherine Nichols is a writer of suspense with heart and humor. (Dec. 2022). Women empowering women is Katherine’s passion. When she taught high school, she started a group for girls who wanted to excel. Katherine didn't set out to be a Southern author. It just happened, which wasn't a surprise since she was born and raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee. As an author, Katherine writes strong female characters. Themes of grief, loss, and forgiveness play an important part in her novels. She works with an all-women's critique group, which started the podcast Wild Women Who Write Take Flight. The interviews primarily include women authors, but they have male guests who are supportive of women as well. Katherine serves on the board of The Atlanta Writers Club and Sisters in Crime Atlanta. When she isn’t spending time with her children and grandchildren, she loves to read, walk, and travel. She lives in Lilburn, Georgia with her husband, two rescue dogs, and two rescue cats.
