A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Kathy has always enjoyed writing poetry and short stories even as a child. She had her first poem published when she was 9 years old. She met her husband in 2000 and they were married in 2008. They are currently raising three beautiful children. In her spare time she enjoys painting and showing her abstract and contemporary art. She likes to challenge herself to new things and expand her knowledge in history, culture and holistic healing. Kathy began writing On the Outside Looking In a few years after her dad passed away in 2008. Her writing helped her with the healing process. During her years of living on the blind side of her dad’s alcohol addiction, she often felt confused, lost and defeated. The more she began to open up and talk to people about addiction she realized she was not the only one struggling. She learned there are many people searching for answers and healing. That’s when On the Outside Looking In came to life. She wanted to write a book where everything a person was looking for coming from both sides of addiction would be available. Kathy is also the author of the children’s series, The Cann Family. Having a family of her own, she understands how hard it is to talk to kids about certain life struggles. The Cann Family’s “D” series is a series of books that cover little life challenges that families may go through while growing up. The Cann Family come up with creative solutions to each of those challenges. Each book comes with a fun family project to help the families interact and continue to talk about the challenge. The books range from simple things like how to choose healthy desserts, to doing your daily chores and then on to more serious subjects like how to say no to drugs and coping with death. This series helps families create stronger foundations by building trust and communication skills. After Kathy published her first book she realized she wanted to help other authors get their books out into the world. That is when she launched Live Love Learn Books Publishing. She believes when people can share their stories through their writing it will reach the ones who need it most. She also knows how hard it is for non-fiction writers to go through the process in trying to find a traditional publisher. Adding to Kathy’s writing and publishing she is a professional motivational speaker. KathyCarniero.com
