Kathleen Ernst is a gifted author, educator, and
social historian. She has published fourteen novels and one nonfiction book, and served as project director/scriptwriter for several instructional television series.
When she's not busy researching and writing, she can be found teaching or providing presentations and workshops.
Kathleen lives in Middleton, Wisconsin,
with her husband and cat. She grew up in Maryland, in a family that considered books as fundamental to life as food and water. She started writing as a child and never stopped! Today, she 
finds researching books as much fun as writing them.
Kathleen earned a B.S. degree in Environmental Education from West
Virginia University and a M.A. degree in History Education and Writing from Antioch University, Ohio. She spent over a decade working as an educator and curator for the State
Historical Society of Wisconsin, and another decade scripting and producing instructional television series for the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board/Wisconsin Public
Television. All these experiences provide a foundation for her current full-time job as a writer.
