In her own words: 

Kathleen Duey grew up in Colorado.
  
  She loved riding her horses, hiking, being in the mountains.  Reading was always important to her. Writing became a fascination early in her life. In the fourth grade, Kathleen began writing stories and told everyone who would listen that she was going to be an author. Then she did nothing about it until she was 35 years old.
 
  Kathleen has lived mostly in isolated places.  For many years she chose to live without electricity—nearly 25 years without  television, most of that without a phone. She lived in a tipi for two very long summers at almost 11,000 feet in the Rockies.  This kind of life means she knows how to carry a candle so it won’t go out, how to sew by hand and with a treadle machine, to knit and crochet, how to make bread, milk a goat, weave baskets, make yogurt and cheese, and dry fruits and vegetables using only the sun. She once canned 400 quarts of food using a wood stove and used to make bread three times a week, grinding the flour by hand.  She knows how to judge baking-heat by sticking her hand inside a wood stove’s oven.  She can make pickles, turn a chicken into chicken soup, make tofu—and much more.  These skills are of little use in a modern world unless you write historical novels or build fantasy cultures in your mind. So,as usual, things work out. 

 

  In the last decade, Kathleen has learned about computers, the internet, research and writing.  Writing is her passion and her dream-come-true.  She is in love and feels lucky to have a such a wonderful and loving partner in her life.   Her hobbies include playing guitar (badly),  singing, (not so badly) and writing songs (improving a little, after all these years).  She also enjoys horses, gardening, travel, figuring things out and learning anything new.    
Because of the many historical novels she has written, Kathleen knows a lot about American history.  She hated it in school, but finally, as an adult, has realized that history is simply family stories—the BIG family.
