K.P. Kollenborn

First and foremost, I am a GenXer who has experienced old technology moving into the new millennium while being a parent of two GenZers. Secondly, I am fortunate to have been trained by one the top ten writing teachers in the U.S., respectably from the Great Generation, the late Leonard Bishop, and author of 'Dare to be a Great Writer.' I owe my love of writing to him.

Although I’ve been writing since childhood, I have a BA in history. I love studying history as much as wanting to evoke stories. I like to believe that after decades worth of introspection we have learned to value our lessons, and the best way to recite our lessons are through storytelling. Aside from being a writer, I have a graphics art degree and a sub teaching license. My husband and I once owned a music store, a pizaa delivery business, and several internet businesses. I also have dabbled with real estate and am grateful I got the heck out right before the crash. Sadly, history tends to repeat itself in important ways. In addition, I make mini-documentaries on YouTube, typically historical, but not always. Currently my family continues to live outside of Kansas City and will always have roots tied to Kansas.
