Katy McDermott

Welcome to KatyMcDermott.com! I like to write, and you like to read, so this could be a perfect match…

Here, you can take in a new essay every week, on a broad range of topics from quitting smoking to reality TV to the bright side of blizzards to karate lessons to Facebook etiquette to Thanksgiving leftover recipes to… well, you get the idea. You can also browse the archives to learn more about how I wrote my second book, and you can order my first book, mystery novel Meeting Murder. (Have an Amazon Kindle? Meeting Murder is downloadable too.)

Those of you who follow this site will notice a few alterations, and that’s intentional.  Before, every post was about my mystery novels. And while seeing my books for sale at a local Barnes and Noble is still the dream, it’s taking a bit longer than I anticipated. So while I pursue that, I also plan to do shorter pieces.

I’m going for a “dinner party conversation” feel here, and like a good dinner party guest, I’ll steer clear of only two topics: politics and religion. (There are plenty of sites about those as it is.)

So pour your favorite beverage, pull up a chair, and check out the “New Writing” section for each week’s essay. You can leave comments too (I’d love to hear from you!)

Let’s get this party started…
