Katrin Goldschmidt is an author. She grew up in Michigan, and has since moved to Chicago, South Korea, and Washington State.

She currently resides within 5 miles of the Puget Sound and sees approximately 0 orcas per year. Her lifetime total orcas spotted is 3. She would like to change that number but is uninterested in falling into Puget Sound due to a boat being shoved by a curious and playful blackfish, and thus is not going to pursue seeing more.

She has been writing since elementary school. Her home life has a partner, one chubby cat, one muscular corgi, and a great deal of horse riding, yoga, and walking.
