Welcome to my world of storytelling.
Author, composer, and speaker Kathleen Basi writes character-driven contemporary women’s fiction about ordinary people living, loving, and doing the best they can to find beauty in the life they’ve been given.
As a writer, Kathleen brings a lyrical approach to storytelling that invites readers to linger with the language and the emotion of the story. As a composer, she crafts music that touches the deepest places of our hearts. As a speaker, she communicates with care, intention, empathy, and authenticity… and a dash of humor for spice.
"Stories have the power to bridge hearts and inspire change."
