Author Biography

Kathryn "Miss Kathy" Ross, writer, speaker, and dramatist, ignites a love of literature and learning through story and drama. She teaches families how to restore their God-given authority as the primary educator in their child's life through the experience of reading together as a family, using literature to create teachable moments, build strong minds, and bind loving hearts. Inspired by the stillness of birdsong, silent reflection, antiques, and teatime, she filters her love of history, classic literature, and the arts through God's Word, to inform her words. Timeless truths leap from the page and podium as she ministers literacy and Christian living principles in schools, churches, libraries, women's groups, community events, retreats, and conferences. She inspires young and old to pursue God's truth, goodness, and beauty in their lives. Trained in Principle Approach(R) Education through the Foundation for American Christian Education, Miss Kathy previously taught in Christian and home school settings. Drawing from over 25 years of experience fueled by her passion for the written and spoken word, she performs enrichment programs teaching aspects of classic literature, history, Bible, and the arts in varied venues. Miss Kathy is the author/owner of Pageant Wagon Publishing, producing a host of her original stories, devotional works, teaching materials, and theatrical plays for use in churches, schools, or for individual enrichment. To illustrate truth, she designs story worlds spanning the likes of an idyllic English country village to a Wild West gold rush town filled with classic old world charm and traditional family values within a biblical worldview. She believes interactive teaching and learning begins in the home as a family-all ages, all at the same time-and seeks to provide instructional and creative tools to the purpose. Kathryn Ross blogs weekly and podcasts original stories monthly at www.thewritersreverie.com, in addition to literacy and books related blog posts on her publishing website at www.pageantwagonpublishing.com.
