BookPage calls Katherine Center “the reigning queen of comfort reads.” She’s the New York Times bestselling author of 11 novels, including HOW TO WALK AWAY, THINGS YOU SAVE IN A FIRE, THE BODYGUARD, and her newest, THE LOVE HATERS.
Katherine writes laugh-and-cry books about how life knocks us down — and how we get back up. She’s been compared to both Jane Austen and Nora Ephron, and the Dallas Morning News calls her stories, “satisfying in the most soul-nourishing way.” Two of her novels were adapted into Netflix films — THE LOST HUSBAND (starring Josh Duhamel) and HAPPINESS FOR BEGINNERS (starring Ellie Kemper and Luke Grimes), both of which ranked highly worldwide.
Her summer 2025 novel THE LOVE HATERS hit the NYT Bestsellers List almost instantly. Author Jodi Picoult has calls is “madcap, laugh-out-loud, and adrenaline-packed – but with a tender center." These feel-good books are sure to take every reader on an adventure filled with joy, sorrow, and endless humor.
Katherine lives in her hometown of Houston, Texas, with her husband, two kids, and their fluffy-but-fierce dog.
