Kit Bakke

Kit Bakke is the author of MISS ALCOTT'S EMAIL and DANCING ON THE EDGE, books that celebrate the creative and independent young women who face down adversity with humor, persistence and friendship. Born, raised and still living in Seattle, Kit loves international travel and weaves her adventures into her writing. Like her characters, Kit asks a lot of questions and believes life should be lived out loud.

Her most recent novel, DANCING ON THE EDGE is about a young teenager who witnesses her mother's bloody but accidental death. Kit uses her own travel experiences to take Dot on a healing journey through the English literary landscapes of Mary Wollstonecraft, Dorothy Wordsworth and Jane Austen.

Kit's first book, MISS ALCOTT'S EMAIL, is not only about Louisa May Alcott, the Civil War, the women's suffrage movement and transcendentalism (all of which were part of Louisa's life), but also reflects Kit's rowdy politically active days in the antiwar movement of the 1960s and 70s. A former hospice nurse, Kit embraces the lessons learned through grief and courage.
