Katie Simpson

Katie Simpson writes about the beautiful, heartbreaking, and occasionally ridiculous business of being human. Her books blend candid memoir, sharp humor, and hard-earned perspective on love, family, faith, resilience, and figuring out what actually matters when life refuses to follow the plan.

From rebuilding a life after unimaginable loss in My Own Damn Table and embracing the art of not giving a damn in The Joy of Not Giving a Damn, to questioning long-held beliefs in Well, That Was Enlightening and navigating love, cancer, and caregiving in Still Stubborn. Still Here., Katie approaches every story with honesty, compassion, and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Her writing explores the messy realities of marriage, family, personal transformation, spirituality, and the everyday absurdities of adulthood. Whether she's sharing deeply personal experiences or finding humor in life's spectacular disasters, Katie believes that even our hardest chapters can teach us something worth carrying forward.

She lives in Montana with her husband, Ken, and an assortment of four-legged family members who contribute absolutely nothing financially but maintain remarkably high expectations.
