Hi, I’m Kate Browne.

You may remember me from such riveting publications as The Golden Girls (2020) and that Runner’s World article about Brittany Runs a Marathon.

Before the pandemic, I was on track to start an exciting career as an author and a speaker. I guess I’m still technically both of those things, but quarantine has really done a number on book tours and speaking gigs.

These days, I’m a stay-at-home mom–something that’s never been high on my list of things to do with my life. I’m lonely and I miss karaoke and the many small indignities of air travel.

I don’t know what the future holds for my work. I’m taking this forced sabbatical to reconsider what’s been and decide where to go next. I don’t have anything to lose.
