Kathi is passionate about encouraging, teaching, and ministering to women in their struggles.

Married for many years, Kathi and Ron are the parents of three grown, married children and are Nana and Papa to eleven of Michigan’s sweetest kids and most recently, a great granddaughter. They live in wooded surroundings in southern Michigan throughout three seasons and in tropical surroundings of southern Florida during the winter.

Kathi loves writing and wanted to author a book since she first read Little Women in Jr. High school! That dream came true when her first book, When Life Roars, Jesus Whispers was published. Since, Kathi has also published a popular Bible Study, Shh! Listen to His Whispers!

Kathi maintains a blog on her website, reaches thousands through her writer’s page on social media, and enjoys correspondence with a multitude of readers. She delights in weaving her own experiences with grace, grief, and family into her writing. Her compassion for others, a result of those personal experiences, brings comfort and hope to her readers and audiences.
