Katherine Owen

About meKatherine Owen is the author of Seeing Julia and Not To Us, both contemporary women's fiction. Owen's writing centers around the themes of loss, love, and fate; her work is considered a little bit edge, sad, and sometimes funny, achieving a balance between high emotions and engaging storytelling.

After a successful career in high tech sales, Owen made the switch to writing full-time and finally put her communications degree in editorial journalism from the University of Washington to good use. Last summer, Katherine Owen was recognized by the Pacific Northwest Writers Association and awarded the coveted Zola Award and first place in the romance category (women's fiction) for her novel, Seeing Julia. She lives near Seattle and is hard at work on her next novel.

About my libraryI am an avid reader of all fiction from thrillers to women's fiction. I'm a huge fan of Audrey Niffenegger's A Time Traveler's Wife; Dylan Landis with Normal People Don't Live Like This; Jennie Shortridge with Riding With The Queen; an recently discovered Elisa Lorello's novels, Faking It and Ordinary World. I also read a wide variety of independent "Indie" authors such as Christopher Smith, Barry Crowther, and Elena Aiken to name a few.
