Katrina L. Burchett was born and raised in the city of York, Pennsylvania. She is the third born of her parents’ six children; the shy, quiet one who always expressed herself better with the written word. As far back as she can remember it felt natural to have a piece of paper and a pen or pencil in hand. She was drawn to these writing instruments and materials so much as a child that the stationery section of a store attracted her more than toys.

In grade school she wrote a play or two that her classmates acted out for teachers and their students. However, during her middle and high school years creating poems was what she loved most, and a couple of them were printed in the local newspaper.

Burchett didn’t take college prep courses in high school, but, following the footsteps of her two older sisters, she opted for the business curriculum. Although she excelled in Accounting and loved working with the packets that included cute little business checks, her favorite class was typing. After graduation she held various office positions until the day she departed York with her military husband and two sons. No longer wanting to leave her children in the hands of daycare providers, she made the choice to be a stay-at-home mom while her family resided in Washington state and then Texas.

The next stop was Florida, where she returned to the workplace for a few years. She held a position at a bank, went on to be a teacher’s assistant at an elementary school, and then she began a small book publishing company and named it after her niece, Kapri.

Burchett is the publisher and author of  Choices; the first of a trilogy. She plans to publish the two remaining novels that will not only dig deeper into the lives of Shauntice, Angel, LaKeeta, Bridgette, and Hope, but will focus more on the guys in Choices. And then, Lord willing, Kapri Books will publish the works of other aspiring authors.
