My Writing Journey
It all began with Connects—the first book I wrote in 2012 deriving from a vivid dream and the beginning of the Dream Detective Series. This story holds a sacred place in my heart. It was born from a time of deep personal upheaval, and writing it was my way of making sense of the chaos. Fiction, yes—but rooted in truth, in pain, in survival. Today, I’m proud to introduce my Dream Detective Series, a genre-blending journey of mystery, spirit, and survival. It begins with Connects, a paranormal ghost thriller inspired by a true haunting—fictionalized to protect both the innocent and the guilty. Connects is available in paperback on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, KDP, and Kindle Unlimited. Too busy to read then listen on Audible, Kobo, Apple Books, and more. The story continues with Hollow Man, available now in paperback on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, KDP, and Kindle Unlimited. The audiobook is coming soon on all available major platforms. To balance the intensity of this series—rooted in real-life trauma and the supernatural—I also write Body, Mind, and Soul, a lighter, uplifting collection focused on healing, positivity, and resilience. Resilience is more than a theme in my work—it’s a truth I’ve lived. I survived an abusive marriage that tried to silence my voice and sabotage my first publication of Connects. But what’s broken can be mended. Including the woman behind the words. Hollow Man is more than a sequel—it’s a reclamation. Thank you for joining me on this journey. I write to connect, to heal, and to remind us all that even in the darkest places, there’s always a way through. After the dust settled, I realized that writing wasn’t just a calling—it was a lifeline. That’s when I penned Get Out of the Depression Pit, a small but powerful booklet that helped me climb out of the darkness. From that healing came the spark for a new series: Body, Mind, & Soul—a lighter, uplifting collection focused on resilience and inner strength. I had intended to follow that path with The Intuitive You, but life had other plans. Once again, I found myself drowning. The healing I thought was completely unraveled, and it took years—until 2025—for me to finish Hollow Man, the second book in the Dream Detective Series. That book cost me something. It demanded truth, vulnerability, and the courage to face what I had buried. But it was necessary. Now, I’m circling back to The Intuitive You, a project I tabled for over a decade. And I’ve begun the rough draft of my new podcast- Bark Like a Seal--a story so raw and personal. Each book I write is a step forward, a piece of healing, a whisper to anyone who’s ever felt lost: you’re not alone. My stories are for the seekers, the survivors, the dreamers—and for anyone who believes that even in the darkest chapters, there’s a thread of light waiting to be found. |
My name is Author Katrina Rose, as a child, I bounced around from different cities, schools, and friends as my dad moved us with his job. It was there that I found solace in books, and animals. Cats have been my favorite companions over the years. Beverly Cleary and Judy Blume were my elementary and preteen favorites. Later in life I was taken by V.C. Andrews, and that's where I began to realize that I loved the darker books. Maybe the universe knew that my life would become dark. Writing what we know is often the first aspect of writing. I write stories shaped by shadows—some imagined, many endured. If you’ve ever found yourself trapped in something strange, something no one else seems to understand, I want you to know -I see you. I’ve lived through the quiet kind of terror, the kind that wears a familiar face and hides behind closed doors. If you’re in a place like that now—or clawing your way out—and need someone who won’t flinch at the weird, the creepy, or the sinister, you can email me. I’ll listen. Sometimes that’s where the healing begins. Because not only do I see you, but I hear you too! Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or fill out the contact form below. Podcast
