Here are some Katherine Center quotes gathered from around the web. I like to write about people who are real and likeable. I like to write about people who tell their stories in that close and intimate voice we use with best friends. I love the closeness and honesty and vulnerability […]
In Get Lucky, the main character makes a “comfort list” of things that are soothing. Here it is: “Things that are comforting: Tea. Warm water on your skin. Thick socks. Humming. Laughter. Fireplaces.

Last week, I drove out to Lockhart, Texas, with my mom for a book event. The library in my new book, Get Lucky, is based on the historic library in Lockhart–the oldest library in Texas. It was so amazing to get to stand in the library that had sparked so many ideas in my head […]
I’ve just made a new trailer for Get Lucky that tries to feel a little bit like the book. I was super-lucky to get to use photos taken by my beautiful pal Andrea Jenkins of Hula Seventy, who is an amazing photographer, artist, blogger, and mama. Beyond amazing, actually.

I just finished my 3rd novel and sent it to my editor. I’m totally in love with the story and having a hard time making myself stop writing. It’s called Get Lucky and it’s the story of a woman who offers to have a baby for her sister. Then hilarity and, of course, heartbreak ensue. […]
