Third person bio:
Kathy Ellen (yes she goes by both names) Davis
is a Mama, a writer, a bookseller, an artist, and a dancer.
She spends most of her day watching her daughter and trying her best
to squeeze in some reading and writing time.

When she’s not reading or writing picture books and middle grade novels, she’s helping to sell them at Hicklebee’s, a magical independent bookstore in San Jose California, working on another hand lettering project, or playing board games with her husband.  She lives with her family in Santa Clara, CA.

If you’re like me and like to find fun facts to add in to a bio to spice things up, here are some you can choose from:

Kathy Ellen was:
-once a firefighter who frequently got to drive the fire truck.
-paper carrier of the year in New York State at 12 years old.
-a gold medalist in snowshoe racing in the Empire State Games in New York.
-a part of building a huge lego Yoda.
-the winner of many coloring contests between the ages of 6-8.

Kathy Ellen is:
-confident she could win an eating contest if what she had to eat was
pizza, ice cream, or pistachios.
-going through life without a middle name and doing just fine.
-usually the last one off the dance floor.

Favorite color: Yellow

Favorite pizza topping: Pepperoni, but the little circle ones that curl up and then become like grease cups, but I pat out most of the grease…usually.Favorite word: create.

Favorite vegetable: cucumber. Oh, and a the potato!

Puppies or Kittens: Kittens to look at, but neither to keep. I don’t want a pet.
Bacon or Nutella: bacon all day everyday.

Favorite dance move: I just go for it…maybe the hip shake?

Favorite sport: basketball!

Mini-golf or real golf: mini but the course has to be interesting and have a theme and a bunch of things that move and try to block you from getting to the hole or I’m not going to play.

Biggest pet peeve: When people aren’t considerate of others and think only of themselves.

Have you been in a spelling bee:
once in school. I cried when I got out, and I don’t remember what the word was, just that I cried and I got a ruler and that ruler didn’t make me feel any better.
Favorite sports team: Red Sox!

Twitter or Instagram: Instagram for sure, though Twitter is growing on me!

Coffee or tea: Tea occasionally; never coffee. Mostly water.

Favorite thing to watch: cooking/baking reality shows. I will watch any and all of them. I love seeing people being creative under pressure!

What’s your favorite emoji: the clapping one. I love clapping in real life too.
