Autorenporträt
Kathryn Carpenter has always like writing, but her life is not that of a writer. She was an elementary teacher, pastoral minister, and now a nurse. Presently, Katherine is teaching nursing at Trinidad State College in Southeastern Colorado and she does staff nursing at the Spanish Peaks Veterans Community Living Center in Walsenburg. Because of her love of mountains, Katherine relocated to Wisconsin. She then found great interest in the coal mines within the area, this inspired her to write this story.
