ABOUT creativeKayt
Hello and welcome!
My name is Kathleen Huggans. My writer's hack is Kathleen McKiernan. McKiernan (for those that are interested) is an old family name I adopted when I decided to evolve from a hobbyist storyteller to writer. Kiernan is also my mom's middle name - a small tribute to her.
Most of my friends call me "Kayt." My family calls me "Kathy," "Kat," and even "Kat-fish" (after Catfish Hunter, the right-handed pitcher - 1965-79). My co-workers call me "Kathleen" and I usually sign my emails with a "K--." But whatever you do, don't call me "Katie." Bad things happen when people call me "Katie."
Raised in the Eastern Sierra Mountains, it was apparent from early on that I was a teller of tales both tall and wide. Only the town's elevation (6500 feet) could rival the spinnings of my imagination (likely fueled by the limited oxygen). I spent most of my childhood engaged in many grand adventures with my siblings and a diverse circle of friends (both real and imaginary).Currently, I am a Software Quality Engineer at Intel. In my free time, I write, photograph, paint, draw, sew, woodwork, and sculpt.
