Mrs. KT has devoted her entire professional life to teaching students of all ages to read and write. She is the author of the book, "At The Water's Edge," a collection of poems and short stories. She spent over a decade teaching college and graduate students the process and joy of writing. She and her husband have been joyfully married for forty years, living in a beautiful resort town in northern Michigan, and are the parents of two amazing and dearly loved adult children.
After nearly thirty-eight years of teaching the art and craft of writing, she retired from the teaching profession in June of 2016.
As the English poet William Blake wrote: "A bird does not sing because he has an answer; he sings because he has a song."
Mrs. KT wishes to thank Fanstory for allowing her the opportunity to "sing her song."

Mrs. KT: Dear Friends,
I am beyond honored and humbled to receive this award.
I write that others may know and remember, and to share with the reader my love of nature and perceptions of the world around me.
To receive heartfelt praise, here, and in private messages, from individuals I have never met, yet for whom I hold the greatest respect for their own creativity and gifts, is overwhelming to process.
My heart is full...
Thank you!
