Kathryn McCullough is an author and artist who lives in Cuenca, Ecuador.  A practicing memoirist, Kathryn blogs for the Huffington Post and has taught college writing for more than three decades.  She believes that participating in the creative process is a redemptive act that transforms memory into text and self into story.

Kathryn is writing a memoir about her childhood and the parents who made that past possible: her father, a bookie for the mob and her mother, a born-again fashionista, who taught her children the values of sartorial conservatism, while herself wearing leather pants and a feather boa.  The memoir is called Kids Make the Best Bookies:  A Childhood Gambled on God and the Mob.

Kathryn has an MA in English literature.  She has lived abroad for nearly a decade.
