Family, friendship, secrets, loss, & survival
2.
Next to World War II (Which is when The Last Cherry Blossom takes
place.), what's your favorite time period to read about/learn about?
I also love the Victorian era or the 1920s
I love reading about both those time periods, too! :)

Anything I can use a glue gun for
I agree with this! :)

Author Bio: Kathleen Burkinshaw resides in Charlotte, NC. She’s a wife, mom to a daughter in college (dreading the reality of being an empty nester-most of the time), and owns a dog who is a kitchen ninja. Kathleen enjoyed a 10+ year career in HealthCare Management unfortunately cut short by the onset of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). Writing gives her an outlet for her daily struggle with chronic pain. She has carried her mother’s story her whole life and feels privileged to now share it with the world. Writing historical fiction also satisfies her obsessive love of researching anything and everything.
