Hi! My name is Grace.

Welcome to my site.

I am glad you are here because I love having visitors, whether it is in real life or on the Internet.

I am over 10 years old and live with Mommy in Colorado. That is a state in the western part of the United States. It has lots of mountains with days of sunshine and days of snow. One of my favorite things is going to our friend’s house in the mountains.

The way I see it, life is an adventure.

I have had a lot of adventures in my life. You can read about some of them in Everybody Loves Grace, books 1, 2, and 3!

Loving people is another one of my favorite things.

Everyone needs love. I look into the eyes of every person I meet so they can feel the love I have for them. They like to pet me, and I like it too. And sometimes, I give them my paw to say hi.

Even when I am not sure what will happen next, I find the fun and the good in everything I do and in everyone I meet. It certainly makes life more interesting!

I hope you like my site.

Please join me on my very first adventure.

Lovingly yours,

A special dog. A heartwarming story.

Let There Be Magic in 2024

It seems hard to believe I was saying goodbye to Grace at this time last year. She was such a big part of my life and I miss her every day. That said, I’ve come to realize the beauty of Grace living on through her books.

At least once a week I get a picture from a parent who wants to share about the special connection their child has with Grace. A connection they make through her stories.

I wish I could share with you all the emails, phone calls and text messages I receive. They come from people who are truly her fans. The sweet photo below came to me this week from a family in Maryland.

Recently, I was driving to meet a 5-year-old, Amelia, because she wanted to meet Grace’s mommy. I reminded myself on the way to meet her that “this is a joyous occasion.” I am so lucky to connect with young readers who absolutely adore Grace.

This is a long way of saying, there’s beauty and joy even in difficult times, we must look for it. The beauty I see is connecting with each of you and knowing Grace lives on through the Everybody Loves Grace books.

My hope for all of you is to find the magic in simple things in life and the holiday season.

Merry Christmas, Katy

Everybody Loves Grace Book Signing – 25 November 2023

I’m excited to be signing Grace books on Saturday, November 25th…a busy shopping day on the weekend after Thanksgiving. What I’m most exited about is spreading the word about the Everybody Loves Grace series and having the books reach more children.

Please invite your friends and join me on Saturday the 25th from 1:00 – 3:00pm at the Denver Southwest Barnes & Noble located at 8136 W. Bowles Ave, Littleton, CO.

Cheers, Katy

Dog Days of Summer

I recently held a book launch for my new book, Humble Yet Fierce: My Life Behind the Curtain of the CIA. It was a wonderful party filled with friends, family, neighbors and many former colleagues. It was a night of reconnecting with important people in my life. I didn’t want to end.

The celebration was held in the Glory Days Grill in Falls Church, Virginia. It was a sweet reminder of the book signing we did a few years ago to celebrate the Everybody Loves Grace series. The only difference this time was Grace wasn’t there to greet everyone, work the room, and find yummy bits of food on the floor.

It’s hard to believe the dog days of the summer of 2023 are almost over. I wanted to remind readers to take advantage of the 20% off every Everybody Loves Grace book through the end of August.

I hope everyone enjoys the end of summer and that our kids and teachers have a wonderful school year.

With Love, Katy

Storytelling has a lot of benefits. It’s fun, engaging, and a great stress reliever. 

But one of my favorites is that it stimulates your mind.

That’s part of the reason I wrote the books about Grace - I wanted to share her stories in a format that people of all ages could be stimulated and inspired by. 

Living with Grace is a program for seniors that is specially designed with their cognitive health in mind. Every story about Grace provides stimulation for participants when they hear about her adventures and the challenges she faces.

And the program guides for the staff member or caregiver leading the activity provide all the prompts needed to keep the participants fully engaged. 

I would love for you and your seniors to experience the benefits of storytelling, so I am giving away the first chapter of book 6 for FREE on my website! Please visit www.EverybodyLovesGrace.com today for the download.

I know as soon as you finish the first chapter, you’ll see how Living with Grace can be a valuable resource for your activity calendar!
No matter what age you are, one thing is inevitable - change.

From children in preschool to seniors living in communities, everyone needs to cope with change, and one of the best tools for navigating change is using storytelling.

Any good story has some type of problem to solve, so when you share stories, you are constantly learning how others have resolved challenging situations. 

Living with Grace is a seniors program that uses storytelling to show how Grace the Dog faces all types of changes in her life. It also nurtures conversations between participants, so they can share their stories, too.

If you’d like to read a sample of the award-winning six-book series, please visit my website at www.EverybodyLovesGrace.com and download chapter 1 of book six today!
Do you know a great way to build friendships in your community?
Share stories! 
Research shows that when you participate in storytelling, you bond with the other people in your group by connecting with them and the characters in the stories. 

This builds empathy, which helps you be a better friend.

Living with Grace uses storytelling to share the adventures of Grace the Dog, who is a true friend to everyone she meets. 

Communities thrive when their residents enjoy strong friendships, and Living with Grace is designed to help seniors live a happier, fuller life through an award-winning book series.

If you’d like to see how powerful storytelling can be, then I’d like to share a story about one of Grace’s adventures with you for FREE!

Please visit my website at www.EverybodyLovesGrace.com today for a download of the first chapter of Book 6!

I’m excited to share that my new book, “Humble Yet Fierce: My Life Behind the Curtain of the CIA,” is officially published. When I headed off to college in 1979, I couldn’t have imagined that one day I would be writing books and delivering speeches about leadership.

Yet it’s here, a book with some of my life stories and lessons learned about work and leadership during my thirty-two year career in the CIA.
