Who is That Darn Kat?

By day, I'm a digital marketing and content strategist who manages social media for a Top 500 Online Retailer. Since 2008, I've also contributed to Social Media Explorer, an AdAge Top 150 blog.

By night (weekend, lunch break, random holiday), I write speculative fiction, mostly steampunk, science fiction and modern fantasy. In 2013, I'm attempting to produce and publish an eBook every month as an experiment. You can read more about that at katinafrench.com

All the time, I'm a wife, mom, Bluegrass Hoosier, stumbling Jesus-follower, INFP/enneagram 4 and chronic overthinker. This blog is where my random ponderings end up.
