About
Kate Calamatta was born in the UK, but luck and circumstance brought her to the Pacific Northwest. Folks assume that as a Brit she’s used to the weather, but she is not! She counters the gray by writing as much as possible and enjoying both the locally brewed libations and the water. Not necessarily at the same time.
