Home Fires: A James Bay Novel (Volume 2)
Kathleen Irene Paterka fell in love with writing at a very young age. She was in her early 20’s when she fell in love with her very own hero-husband-fireman Steve. HOME FIRES was inspired by the courage and devotion to duty she’s witnessed throughout the years from Steve and his fellow firefighters of the Charlevoix Township Fire Department. None of them fail to answer the call when the monitor trips and they’re toned out by Central Dispatch for a fire run. Kathleen is the author of numerous novels which embrace universal themes of home, family life and love, including the "The James Bay Novels" series. She is the resident staff writer for Castle Farms, a world renowned castle listed on the National Historic Register, and co-author of the non-fiction book FOR THE LOVE OF A CASTLE, published in 2012. Having lived and studied abroad, Kathleen's educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts degree from Central Michigan University. She and her hero husband Steve live in the beautiful north country of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Kathleen loves hearing from readers.
