a professional speaker and a writer who wasn’t writing much -- who thought about someday writing a book -- living in
an uninspiring development of "vanilla" homes.
AFTER: Kathie “finally” wrote her book, Help!
I'm a Military Spouse and I Want a Life, Too!, the second edition of which was recently published. She’s just
moved into her renovated dream home overlooking the ocean on the rustic Oregon coast. She refined her speaker marketing

book.
