Natalia's Books For Kids

01/05/2026

Did you know that we have a local authors group? They are busy connecting and creating opportunities for authors!

One of the hidden worlds found "in plain sight" in the HIDDEN WORLD anthology is an abandoned house. The story comes from the mind, heart, and pen of Kathy Appel.

Meet Kathy:
Kathy Appel is a Florida native who has called the Pacific Northwest home for nearly five decades. An avid reader, gardener, and ukulele player, she enjoys yoga, walking, and being grandma to six great kids. She has published a personal memoir, but her story for this anthology marks her fiction debut. Kathy lives in Saint Helens, Oregon with her dog, Biscuit, and her chicken, Henny Penny.
