Kathy Mizera

I'm a born and bred South Floridian who's been lucky enough to wander the U.S. a bit, broadening both my life and writing horizons. I've been writing since I was old enough to form letters, and don't plan to stop any time soon. I have a Bachelor of Science in Communications, two kids, a husband and a house in the suburbs of Atlanta. I worked in the music business for a decade, as a legal assistant for about as long, and was lucky enough to intern for the Manchester Monarchs in the mid-2000s. I like to think I'm well-rounded, but you be the judge.
