"I Can't Believe It's Not Nihilism!"
About the Author:Katherine Turner was born in a small mud hut with her twelve siblings. Food being scarce and the cannibalism taboo lax, they ate her.
Reborn some time later in Santa Cruz, her drug-addled parents kept her in a chicken coup and named her ‘Adam.’ For many years they roamed like stoned gypsies over Northern California, misplacing Katherine’s father in Vacaville and ending up a single mother household in the state capitol.
When she turned 18, Katherine fled the pesticide soaked armpit of Sacramento for the wood-pulp-scented armpit of Tacoma, Washington. There she attended college at the whitest school outside of Sweden, The University of Puget Sound. Like Ted Bundy before her, she worked for three years saving lives at the Pierce County Crisis Line. While there she had her first short story published in the Cross Currents Journal. In the same year, she won the Esther Wagner Short Fiction Prize for her story "Walking to the Horizon."
When she could no longer stand the smell, she moved to the shining city of Seattle to live the Bohemian ideal of truth, beauty and love. Unfortunately, her reality shied closer to the monastic ideal of poverty, chastity and humility. Katherine Turner now rents a simple cell next to the monorail with her two cats, Orlando and Portia. Currently, her energies are directed toward writing the novel that is destined to be misunderstood during her lifetime: The Dragon of Seattle.
