Kathleen J. Shields began writing short stories for fun when she was twelve years old. With much support Kathleen began down the path towards becoming a writer. Kathleen was able to complete her first novel of a series during the summer of 2002.
To keep her creative talents flowing she creates custom and personalized greeting cards for friends and family and with each card writes an original poem inside. While running her own graphics design company she continues to write and dreams to one day get the next book of the Kaitlyn Jones series published.
There are Angels God puts on this Earth
Who care for us and guide us.
You can feel their love and gentleness
as they walk through life beside us.
...
There is something about you, something in your soul
something that seems to surround your fishing pole….

I’ve wanted just to tell you a few things you ought to know
I’m doing pretty good now, I’m better than so-so.
I think the guilt has passed me, I’m sleeping now at night
I’ll forever - ever miss you, but I know I’ll be alright.
...
Through thick and thin, through good and bad
Through every day you’ve made me glad
When I was sitting at the end of my rope
Your encouraging words gave me hope
