Katherine Center

Writer

Author Katherine Center writes bittersweet comic stories about how we fall down — and how we get back up. “Reading a book by Katherine Center is like having a long lunch conversation with an old friend you haven’t seen for a while — familiar, cozy and satisfying in the most soul-nourishing way,” says The Dallas Morning News. Her novels have won several awards, appeared in several reputable media outlets, and been published in translation all around the world. Katherine lives in her hometown of Houston, Texas, with her husband, two fun kids, and their fluffy-but-fierce dog.
