The story of KD begins in Eldorado (pronounced Elder Raydo), Illinois, “home of 5,200 friendly people and 1 ole sorehead.”  She was one of the few of the 5,201 to abandon the cornfields for browner pastures (well, an oasis within a big brown desert still counts as a browner pasture). It was UCLA that called her to Southern California where she has remained these past several years for unbelievable weather and a few more things to do than one might find back in Eldorado. 

KD graduated from Southern Illinois University with a degree in history: a degree people foresaw as a waste of time and money. KD still disagrees with those nay-sayers who never could understand that it was history that first stole her heart (she would still claim history as her first love). It was at UCLA that KD earned her Juris Doctorate, a.k.a. destructor of idealism. Yes, she went to law school with high hopes of changing the world. Though she is not likely to admit it today, she didn’t set off thinking she might change the world, she just knew she would change it. She still hopes to make a difference but she knows it’s not going to be through the practice of law. 

Not so long ago, and shortly after her fairytale wedding in Venice, Italy to her one true love, KD decided it was time to leave the practice of law in order to pursue her true calling: writing. She took a day job with fewer responsibilities and a lot more flexibility (and is unbelievably happy with her choice). It was about this time KD introduced herself to Nina – Soaptown USA’s web-mistress extraordinaire - who offered KD the chance of a lifetime: to write about her favorite show of all time, One Life to Live. 

KD was born watching OLTL. She rushed out of the womb, at 1:45 pm on a cold November day back in 1974, to catch the last 15 minutes and has been a devout fan ever since. She is, in fact, still begging forgiveness of her brothers who lost many a movie and sports event tape to episodes of OLTL (though she’s pretty sure they’re getting over it).

Nowadays when KD isn’t working, hanging out with her husband and precious kitties or watching One Life to Live, she can be found traveling, writing and researching an obscure era of Ancient Egyptian history in which she plans to set her first of many novels.
