Kaitlyn Arford — Freelance Writer & Journalist

I'm a Kentucky-based freelance writer and journalist. As an occasional library clerk, award-winning storyteller, and book reviewer, I read voraciously — averaging 72 per year. You can buy the books I read and recommend. These titles won‘t waste your time.
