ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kathy Kasunich, originally from the snowy hills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, traded her snow boots and parkas for sunglasses and sweaters a few years ago. She now basks in the charming, sunny, historical town of Williamsburg, Virginia.In addition to writing, she is an avid photographer, focusing her lens on nature, architecture, and her adorable grandchildren. She has contributed as a writer and a photojournalist to local newspapers, which bolstered her confidence to write her first novel. However, her love of photography, family, and history ignited the spark for writing Always Remembering. As a shutterbug, freezing moments in time, she wanted to preserve the memories of the ordinary heroes of World War II. They were the individuals who never adorned the front page but their legacies have etched a lasting impression in the forefront of our minds. Memories are treasures that sustain us during difficult times, breathing life into forgotten people.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and interests.

I'm originally from Pittsburgh, a city rich in history and now live in Williamsburg. I love to travel and spend time with my family.

When and why did you start writing books?

I started to write Always Remembering about 5 years ago because I had a wealth of information (books, letters, memorabilia, newsletters, and much more) from my father and knew there was a story to be told. I wanted to honor the World War II generation and all of their sacrifices. The book contains unedited letters from my father to my mother.

What made you decide to tackle writing as a career?

I have always liked writing since being on the high school newspaper ions ago and had the time to pursue it.

Which one of your books or characters is your favourite?

Since Always Remembering is about my parents, they are my favorite characters.

Which one of your books was the hardest to write and stretched you the most as a writer?

I only have one book right now and working on a book that takes place in the 1700's. That is a little harder since I don't know as much about this era.

The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post by Allison Pataki
