Kat Henry Doran admits a life-long fascination with off the wall characters and unique locations influence her writing. She’d also agree her varied careers as a nurse and an advocate for victims of sexual violence often dominate the flavor of her novels–even when she’d prefer they mind their own business.
Working for a full-service private investigation firm allows her to travel the length of Upstate New York while she investigates personal injury and medical malpractice cases–and discover the perfect locale for her first novel “Captain Marvelous”–right down to the scene of the crime.
Kat and her college professor husband live in Western New York where they enjoy their children, both the two- and four-footed variety, and their grandchildren. When she’s not investigating or writing, Kat collects artwork featuring mothers and children and pottery crafted in Ireland by local artisans.
