Kathy Tuley

An avid reader and a lover of children, Kathy Tuley makes her children's book debut with Blankets of Love, a heartwarming true story inspired by her beautiful daughter, Michelle, whose death came unexpectedly at the age of twelve.

Wanting to have a purpose in life, and to keep her daughter's memory alive, Kathy became a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). The national association in the United States supports and promotes advocates for abused and neglected children. She volunteered for over twenty years, and in that time, she made each child she worked with a blanket, hoping to make them feel safe and loved. Kathy has continued that mission today for others in need. When she's not making blankets, she's doting on her beloved grandchildren, who keep the light shining in her life. She was born and raised in Evansville, Indiana, and lives with her husband, Mark (her constant encourager), and a growing stack of books she hopes to read someday.
