Jim Baen's Universe

Authors | K. D. Wentworth

K. D. (Kathy) Wentworth was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and in a subsequent dizzying tour of the nation, managed to attend thirteen different schools by the time she graduated from high school in upstate New York. Returning to Oklahoma to attend the University of Tulsa, she earned a B.A. in Liberal Arts and has had the sense to stay put ever since, although she dodges the occasional tornado. She has taught elementary school for more years than she cares to admit, and in the process has made cafeteria riot patrol into a fine art.
She got her start winning in the Writers of the Future Contest in 1988, and then later won the Field Publications Teachers as Writers Award in 1991. She has sold over fifty short stories to such markets as Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, Aboriginal SF, Pulphouse, Return to the Twilight Zone, Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Realms of Fantasy.
