Katherine Padilla has been writing novels since age 13. As a girl, she was equally intrigued by prophecies of the Last Days and the TV show Star Trek. At age 17 she wrote her first story that combined prophecy with science fiction and even submitted it to a contest. That story remains unpublished (and unpublishable!), but her interest in exploring traditional values and religious themes through speculative fiction remains as strong as ever. She has given speeches on the benefits of reading wholesome literature and has compiled resources to help readers in that pursuit on Novaun Novels at http: //novels.zerosilver.com. She is the author of five faith-based novels
