What if the most interesting people you’ll ever meet don’t exist? Every novel begins with a question.
Who are they? What are they hiding?
And what happens when life forces them to face the one thing they’ve been trying to avoid?
The deeper I write, the less my characters feel fictional. They become people with their own fears, flaws, ambitions, and secrets. They argue with my plans. They make unexpected choices. And sometimes they take the story somewhere I never imagined. Those are the moments I love most.
Because great stories aren’t built from plot alone. They’re built from humanity—the courage, heartbreak, hope, and resilience that connect us all.

Allison: Why do your books have difficult moments?
Katrina: Because life does. If every chapter were easy, the ending wouldn’t feel earned.
Allison: But why put readers through heartbreak?
Katrina: Because sometimes the hardest chapters reveal the greatest hope. Fiction lets us experience love, loss, courage, and healing from the safety of a page.
Allison: So stories do more than entertain?
Katrina: They do. The best stories don’t just stay on the page—they stay with us, quietly changing how we see ourselves and the world around us.
