About Katherine Reay

Katherine Reay is a wife, mother, runner, and avid chocolate consumer. She has enjoyed a life-long affair with the works of Jane Austen and her contemporaries and, at the encouragement of her family, recently began an affair with food – cooking that is – and this new passion strongly influenced her next novel, Lizzy and Jane, which will release in October 2014.

After living all across the country and a few stops in Europe, Katherine and her family live in Seattle, WA. You can also find Katherine at www.katherinereay.com and lurking somewhere within the pages of her first novel, Dear Mr. Knightley.

Christmas Romance

December 10, 2014 by Katherine Reay

Okay, I love Christmas time. I love that Christ came as a baby to save us; I love that whether one finds significance in that or not, a feeling of love and kindness pervades our hearts, thoughts, and actions; I love that we are more “other” focused for this glorious bit of time; I love […]

The Classics…

November 5, 2014 by Katherine Reay

Lately I’ve been digging through the Classics. If you’ve read Dear Mr. Knightley or now Lizzy & Jane, you know I keep returning to these beloved favorites. And I think they are relevant here, on a contemporary blog, because most of these were not written as historical fiction (not that we don’t love historical fiction), […]

Fairy Tales

September 4, 2014 by Katherine Reay

A few months ago I wrote a couple articles trumpeting the wonder and magic of fairytales. Prime time fairy tales had me hooked. ABC’s Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time Wonderland held me the tightest. But there are others such as NBC’s Grimm and Dracula, FOX’s Sleepy Hollow, and the CW’s Beauty and […]

The Christy Awards: A Love Affair Between Truth & Storytelling

July 1, 2014 by Katherine Reay

I was so blessed to attend the Christy Awards this year. Dear Mr. Knightley was nominated and I’m not going to lie – that was super amazingly cool. But what I found more wonderful, and yet not surprising, was the love every writer shared for both storytelling and Christ. The Christy Awards seek to honor […]

How Do You Like Your Romance?

May 29, 2014 by Katherine Reay

Last week I traveled to New Orleans to attend the Romantic Time’s Booklover’s Convention. I had never been to the city before and never attended a conference with over 2,500 attendees! It was packed, bustling, fun and chaotic! Fascinating and wonderful on all counts. I ate more than I should, walked miles throughout the French […]

Moving is Romantic?

April 25, 2014 by Katherine Reay

For today’s blog — thinking I should stick with a general theme of romance — I had to most definitely step out of my box… Here’s my box: I write this in a corner of my kitchen as my house is filled with movers helping me pack up all our belongings and furniture to be shipped […]

Puppy Love

March 21, 2014 by Katherine Reay

Okay, yes this a post about a puppy… but so much more too.   A couple weeks ago we got a new puppy. “Patchington Bear from Darkest Montana” – yes, that his name. Thank goodness, we only call him “Patch.” And considering that he joins “Triple Grande Non-Fat Extra Foamy Latte” (called “Trip”), his n […]
