Katherine Pierce Chinelli

After completing a three-inch binder containing illustrated family portraits and personal information for over one thousand made-up town residents at the age of sixteen, Katherine Pierce Chinelli knew creativity was undeniably her calling. She used that binder to get her foot in the door at Mills College, where she graduated with a B.A. in English. Since then she has gone on to self-publish ten books that include romance, YA adventure, screenplays and self-improvement. She has thrown away more books than she has published in the search for the perfect story, and continues to file ideas away for her next project.
