Stories have the power to make us laugh, challenge what we believe, and help us understand one another. Ranging from tragedy to humor, Kathleen's writing blends lived experience, research, and storytelling to create books that linger long after the final page. The hope is simple: that every story leaves the reader a little wiser, a little more compassionate, and inspired to see the world, and each other, differently.

Eve Mercer learned early that silence protects predators, not children, and that justice often arrives too late, if it arrives at all.

Now, when the law looks away, Eve acts.

She targets powerful child molesters who hide behind respectability and harm children with impunity. Her killings are precise, unemotional, and each one marked with a two dollar bill.

The Deuce is not about revenge.

It is about prevention.

A haunting, razor-sharp thriller about trauma, love, loss, and what happens when women decide that protecting children matters more than protecting monsters.

When Eve Mercer learns that her husband's abuser has been murdered and marked with The Deuce's signature $2 bill, she begins hunting for the person responsible—and the reason behind it.

As Eve follows the trail, she uncovers a hidden world of trafficked girls, conditioned survivors, and predators who turn fear and dependence into power. Forced into an uneasy alliance with the officers who once hunted her, Eve must confront an enemy who understands her methods and stays one step ahead.

What begins with one body becomes something far larger: a fight not only to stop the people who sell children’s bodies, but to build something that fortifies the survivors.

Pass the Salt, Spill the Tea
Some families pass down heirlooms.
Others pass down stories.

Pass the Salt, Spill the Tea is a celebration of family, friendship, laughter, dinner parties, and stories that become legend.

At these dinner parties, a handcrafted salt mill is passed from guest to guest as music plays. When the music stops and someone is left holding the mill, the table cries, "Accept the mill!" The chosen guest stands and tells a story that will leave everyone laughing, crying, or thinking long after the meal has ended.

Every family has stories that refuse to fade. These are ours.

The wedding that unraveled spectacularly. The grandmother who knocked out a purse snatcher. The Thanksgiving when Aunt Charlie took the turkey and left, my father leaning over at a wedding and whispering, "Jesus, that veil is not nearly thick enough."  That was my family—always just one story away from laughter.

Funny, heartfelt, and deeply human, these stories remind us that every person is the sum of their experiences. Sometimes the biggest laughs lead to the deepest understanding.

Woven throughout the book are recipes for the meals served at each dinner party, inviting readers to recreate the meals—and perhaps begin a storytelling tradition of their own.

More Than Breathing is a powerful autobiographical play about survival, motherhood, and the long arc of healing after childhood sexual abuse. Told with honesty and restraint, it traces a life shaped by trauma and rebuilt through love, endurance, and hard-earned self-reckoning.

This is not a story of what was done to someone, it is the story of what it takes to live when you are not sure you want to.

It’s about raising a child while relearning how to inhabit one’s own body.

It’s about breaking silence, confronting memory, and discovering that survival is not just staying alive, but remembering how to laugh, how to stay present, and how to breathe beyond fear.

Untangled is a healing and prevention companion for parents, caregivers, survivors, and those committed to protecting children from sexual abuse. Written for those learning how to live beyond trauma—and for those seeking to recognize and prevent it it speaks to the places where trauma settles quietly: in the body, in the nervous system, in the mind, and even in the pauses between words.

Grounded in lived experience and guided by care, this workbook offers both practical awareness and a path toward healing. It helps readers understand the realities of abuse, recognize warning signs, foster safer environments for children, and respond with clarity and compassion when concerns arise. At the same time, it provides a gentle, steady, and deeply human approach to recovery for those carrying the long aftermath of trauma.

Untangled holds the truth without flinching, hope without apology, and the belief that prevention and healing belong together.
