Kathy Yoak Rees

AN AMAZON BEST SELLING AUTHOR Kathy was the fourth generation born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she lived until, at the age of fourteen, her family moved near Newport Beach, California. That fed her lifelong love of everything summer: long days on the sand; Colorado River and Lake Havasu, AZ trips to waterski, jet ski, or boat along their waterways; kayaking and paddleboarding at Newport harbor. Though Kathy started college as an art major, her life eventually took her in another direction. She spent over forty years in corporate management and continues as a remote consultant. After retiring, she sought out a new experience, this time tapping into her more creative side. An avid reader from childhood, writing offered her that creative outlet. She believes you are never too old to learn something new when you set your mind to it. Her first book, “The Boy In The Wagon: They Said I Would Never Walk Again” was a #1 new release and Amazon bestseller in four book categories. Proving what can be accomplished at any age when you invest the time and energy into it. Kathy lives in Southern California with her husband of over forty years, Mike, and their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, "Charlie." They have two grown children, six grandchildren, and to date, one great-grandchild. They have always traveled and in retirement, remote work makes it possible to travel more extensively.
