When she was a baby, her mother told her father how she couldn’t wait to hear what she would have to say. 23 years later, she took those words, wrote them down and turned them into 'The Wallowing Hour'. Katrina went to school to pursue her other passions of the culinary arts and business, acquiring a trades diploma in Culinary Management, and an Honours Bachelors Degree in Commerce. While building her career in the hospitality industry and moving from life stage to life stage, she never forgot her passion for writing and often turned to it as a coping mechanism and a source of comfort. During some time off during the unforeseen worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, Katrina sat down and made her childhood dream of publishing a book a reality.
