Author Note
Here's what I know to be true: relationships are tested in all kinds of ways so that's what I love to write about; you can never have enough shoes; you should always pack your make-up in your carry-on; if your glass is half-full, you've got to ask for more; and lastly, go with the adage—never believe your own press—because too much ego or too little doesn't serve you either way.

This Much Is True by Katherine Owen
Fate brings them together
Fame & lies keep them apart
One truth remains...
She's become the Paly High girl with the most tragic story...
His only focus is baseball, but he can't forget the girl he saved on Valentine's Day...
Fate soon tests these star-crossed lovers in all kinds of ways...
And yet, despite the lies being told to protect the other, and the trappings of fame that continually separate them, and in lieu of the deception by those they've come to trust the most;
one truth remains
.
This much is true.
Recent reviews:
"…You will not know how it was going to go until the very end..... And you will be left breathless. I seriously had a pit in my stomachs until the Very. Last. Page.Easily one of the best books I have read this year!!"
Goodreads reviewer
"...I can honestly say that this book will be one of my favorites forever! very well written and extremely easy to read and get lost in and the characters were all amazing, from Tally down to Nika. I give this 5 over the top amazing stars!"
Goodreads review
"…I never once was able to predict what was going to happen next in this book. I was never lulled into a false sense of security that everything would work out for these characters. I spent the whole book twisted in knots waiting to see what on Earth would happen next and if these characters would ever get the happily ever after they so richly deserved. That alone makes this book incredible."

Seeing Julia by Katherine Owen
If you loved the emotional roller coaster ride of
When I See You
with the touching moments and the relationships tested by love, trust, and fate, you should check out my award-winning novel,
Seeing Julia
.
Awarded the "Zola Award" and 1st Place in romance (women's fiction) by the Pacific Northwest Writers Association July 2010,
Seeing Julia
has been described as compelling, gripping, and captivating. Just know, it is a story with unexpected twists and turns, that keeps readers riveted, until the very end, and is, most definitely, another emotional roller coaster ride, like my others
.
I've been here before. I've done this before. At sixteen, I buried my parents. At twenty-three, my fiancé Bobby. And now, almost four years later, my husband Evan. I'm here again in the after. Here's what I know: death abducts the dying, but grief steals from those left behind.
There is less of myself with every loss.
A desperate widow questions her ability to start over and battles grief, guilt, and an undeniable attraction to a handsome stranger, but then, she learns of a betrayal by the one person she thought she knew. A betrayal that leads her to question everything and everyone she believes in, including herself.
PRAISE FOR Seeing Julia…
"I recommend this novel to all who enjoy a highly emotional story that tugs at your heart strings with a main character who shows remarkable growth throughout the book. "Seeing Julia" rightly deserves its 5 stars!"

PRAISE for
Not To Us
…
"This book was the epitome of an emotional rollercoaster, and I say that with a smile on my face ... I read through this book rather quickly, because it captivated me so much ..."
Stephanie - Goodreads
"Isn't it true that when horrible things happen to others, we are quick to think that it won't happen to us? That's exactly what "Not To Us" is centered on...an emotional roller coaster ride...a book to be read at leisure so as to enjoy every moment...It touches you...forces the reader to face many truths; that we have no control over our lives, no matter how hard we try. What makes the difference though, is how we deal with it."
Ellen Fritz - Books4Tomorrow
"Owen has an incredible ability to create characters who endure amazing loss and overcome it, and wind up being stronger in the end..."
