A lifelong creator of her own bedtime stories, Katherine Dotterer writes cozy tales of fantasy romance inspired by Regency England. Born and raised in Maryland, Katherine still lives there in an almost cottage surrounded by trees. When not writing, she enjoys reading anything she can find, singing in local choruses, hiking in nearby parks, watching the wildlife outside her windows, and cuddling her cats as shown below.

Katherine’s Calatini Tales series has delighted readers seeking cozy, low-spice fantasy romance since 2021. Her comforting, heartwarming books offer escape from the everyday world by blending the elegant manners, witty banter, and ballroom settings of Regency historical romance with magical worldbuilding that features low-stakes magic, fairy tale vibes, comfort food, and sweet moments. In Katherine’s books, love is always the most powerful magic, the support of family and friends is key, and magic is used every day but can cause complications. When her strong heroines and swoony heroes fall in love, they find their forever partner who helps them grow and overcome their emotional and magical problems before they build a wonderful life and family together.

Katherine’s books are perfect for readers who love cozy fantasy romance, fans of fairy tale retellings, Regency romance enthusiasts, Bridgerton and Jane Austen lovers, and anyone seeking low-spice romance with magical elements and fairy tale vibes. Plus, she writes companion shorts stories, bonus epilogues, and many book extras for each of her books that are exclusively available to her newsletter subscribers—sign up to enjoy them all.
