From the Allegheny Mountains where she grew up, to the Gloucester seaport where she writes, Kathleen Valentine loves nothing more than listening to the stories that people tell while sitting on front porches, gathered around kitchen tables, or swapping in coffee shops and taverns. Her collection of legends, folklore, and tall tales are woven into her fiction.
The award-winning author of novels, novellas and short story collections, as well as books of knitting patterns and a cookbook/memoir about growing up Pennsylvania Dutch, Valentine has been listed as an Amazon Top Selling Author in Horror, Mystery/Suspense, Cooking, and Knitting.
As a writer, her primary interest is delving into the psychology of her characters. Her stories are sometimes mysterious, sometimes funny, usually romantic, and frequently frightening.
Her characters range from lost children and grumpy old folks, to mysterious men and women who are not to be trifled with.
She lives in Gloucester, Massachusetts, America's oldest seaport.
