Bio:

Kathryn Levison is a successful Indie writer and holds two legitimate bachelor’s degrees—one in psychology and one in English composition—from a real live accredited university. She’s earned two honorary degrees from her analyst: an undergrad in Psychoanalysis, and a master’s in Not Giving Up. She’s now working toward a doctorate in Dedication to Her Path and manages the FB page “Culture Coast Writers.”

She has eight self-published works in Kindle, one ranking in the low 300’s that hit the top 100 the weekend it went live, and two more in the mid-600’s. As she says, she “writes all over the place,” which she considers a gift, a lot like being able to play three woodwinds plus piano. Originally from the Chicago ‘burns,’ she lives on the Gulf Coast of Florida, making ends meet as a freelance blogger and sharing a forty-year-old single-wide trailer with her rescue dog, Tami.
