Katherine Briccetti

I'm the author of Blood Strangers: A Memoir, (Heyday Books), a LAMBDA Literary Award Finalist. An excerpt from the book was nominated for a Pushcart prize by the Dos Passos Review. My second memoir, an INDIES Award Silver Medalist, was published under a pen name in order to provide privacy for my family. I'm shopping my novel manuscript, WHETHER THEY BE, which is set in the turbulent days of 1968, when a shameful secret is exposed, forcing two families--one black and one white--to confront their histories and negotiate their paths forward. It has been short- and long-listed in several manuscript contests. I'm currently at work on travel essays and another novel.
