About K.D. McCrite
I’ve been writing since I was old enough to hold a pencil. I’ve always loved to read, and books became my best friends.
Of course, growing up on an Ozarks dairy farm meant that most of our time was taken up by farm work. When I wasn’t taking care of the calves, or mucking out the barn, or helping my dad in the hayfield, I’d tuck a book under one arm and hoist myself into the hayloft, where the scent of the hay was warm and sweet. Or I’d scoot up my favorite tree in the backyard where the breeze swung the branches gently. When I began writing stories, I’d sneak off into the woods, or down to the pond with my notebook and pen and hope my mother didn’t call me to come help cook supper. These days I spend most of my time at the computer spinning tales that I hope will entertain my readers.
April Grace Reilly, the spitfire heroine of the “Confessions of April Grace” series, shares a lot of things with me, from our love of books to our red hair. But, April Grace sticks her foot in her mouth a lot more than I ever did. And she has a lot more adventures. I hope you’ll read her confessions, because I think you’ll laugh out loud.
I also write for another series of books, “Annie’s Attic Mysteries.” It’s fun to tell stories about widow Annie Dawson and the crew who make up the Hook and Needle Club as they go about solving mysteries in Stony Point, Maine.
Also, there are books I wrote several years ago. Although they are out of print now, you can still find copies online. Home is the Heart, Wintersong and Rainbow Dreams were written under the name Kathaleen Burr. They are sweet romance stories, set in the fictional Ozarks town of Pleasant Springs, Missouri.
Eastgate Church Keeps on Singing is a light, cozy mystery featuring assistant pastor Carrie Lockwood as the unlikely sleuth who digs up clues and unlocks the secrets of why Eastgate’s new choir director was found dead behind the church organ.
So you see, I’m busy, writing books for kids and for adults. Join me for more writer talk at my blog Sweet Tea with K.D.; we’ll enjoy a fine, front porch and sweet tea conversation.
