We are pleased to announce that Kate Sprague Gledhill will be joining the Writers Panel.

Kate Sprague GledhilI grew up on farms in central Illinois in the 1950s and 60’s. A tomboy by nature, she loved the rural life. First horses, then boys, took over her interests as she grew up and her family’s problems became harder and harder to ignore. A voracious reader, she was led to writing as personal therapy, but it took thirty plus years, the drawing of a map of where she grew up and the safe confines of a women’s writing group to make her decide to tell her story to others. Kate lives with her husband of fifty years in Winston Salem, NC. They have a son, James, daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, one grandson, James, (all in Winston Salem) and a daughter, Jennifer, in Savannah, GA. Her interests are family, reading, writing, genealogy and travel. Her professional background was nursing, infection prevention and epidemiology.
