Personal background

Kathryn’s love of writing poetry and fiction is only rivaled by her love of cooking. Zurlo enjoys preparing exciting new dishes as well as traditional Italian fare. She is no slouch at baking, either, making sure her family and friends’ sweet tooths are always satisfied. Kathryn is the mother of four curious cats, two of which were rescued from homelessness. She particularly loves to curl up on her couch with a hot cup of tea, a couple of her kitties, and an obscure novel.
