Kate McKenna  -  Contributing Writer

Kate McKenna is a writer and editor living in Los Angeles, where she remained after receiving her degree in English Literature from the University of Southern California. Kate hails from Western New York, where she was raised by a family that believes wholeheartedly in the special magic of the simple things. During childhood summers spent at her family’s cottage on the rocky shores of Lake Ontario, she experienced the very definition of rustic. This cottage, held together with a wish, a prayer and lots of elbow grease, was built by her grandfather from a hot dog stand, an airplane spotting station, and any number of odds and ends as the Second World War came to a close. It was in this way that she established a deep and abiding love for all things rustic, natural and steeped in history, as this remains one of the most magical places she has ever know. Kate can be counted on to cry at every wedding she attends and hopes that never changes.
