Kathleen D. Bailey

I'm a freelance and staff writer with a lifetime devotion to the printed, and now the digital page. Born in 1951, I was a child in the 50s, a teen in the 60s and 70s and a young mom in the 80s. It was a turbulent, colorful time to come of age. I've enjoyed every minute of it and written about most of it.  I'll share some of that on this site, along with book reviews and snippets from my work. Join me in the wonderful world of words!

Where to find me!


WHERE TO FIND ME:
Taking a travel break over the summer. 

Still recovering from my broken shoulder, but gaining more every day. Sent the first "Western Promises" book to Pelican in January, and should be able to send the third "Hilltop" book to Elk Lake in June. I won't have a release in 2026, but that's okay.

​Continuing to enjoy the life of a published author, if a little late in life, with eleven books since I was 69. Novels, novellas, nonfiction local history. I publish Western historical romance with Pelican Book Group out of New Mexico, Christmas contemporary romance with Elk Lake Publishing of Plymouth, Mass. and local history for Arcadia Publishing. I also contribute features to the New Hampshire Union Leader, the state's leading newspaper. If you're counting, that's four different publishing outlets, four different style sheets, and four different editors. 
"The History Lover's Guide to New Hampshire" debuted March 18, 2025, see above, and "A Hilltop Reunion" with Elk Lake.

​OUR LATEST NONFICTION BOOK, "History Lover's Guide to New Hampshire," features the iconic Chicken Farmer sign in Newbury, New Hampshire. While many efforts were made to squelch the sign, the good folk of Newbury rose up and preserved this declaration of undying love.
