About Katherine Center:

BookPage calls Katherine Center “the reigning queen of comfort reads.” She’s the New York Times bestselling author of many novels, including How to Walk Away, Things You Save in a Fire, The Bodyguard, Hello Stranger, The Rom-Commers, and more. Katherine writes laugh-and-cry books about how life knocks us down—and how we get back up. She’s been compared to both Jane Austen and Nora Ephron. The Dallas Morning News calls her stories, “satisfying in the most soul nourishing way.” Katherine lives in her hometown of Houston, Texas, with her husband, two teenagers, and their fluffy-but-fierce dog.

The movie adaptation of her novel The Lost Husband (starring Josh Duhamel) hit #1 #1 on Netflix. Her novel Happiness for Beginners is a Netflix original starring Ellie Kemper. Katherine’s summer 2022 book, The Bodyguard, was an instant New York Times bestseller and a People Best New Books pick. Also, Book of the Month Club nominated the book for Book of the Year. Bestselling author Emily Henry calls The Bodyguard “a shot of pure joy.” And bestselling author Helen Hoang calls it “a perfect feel-good rom-com.”

Since her debut novel in 2007, Katherine has spoken to hundreds of book clubs and dozens upon dozens of luncheons, breakfasts, fundraisers, conferences, galas, writing groups, womens’ organizations, chambers of commerce, and beyond. Katherine tells hilarious stories to get at the meaning of life—always trying to balance comedy and wisdom. Her speaking style is warm, conversational, personal, and laugh-out-loud funny. She’s done keynotes all around the country from the Colorado Gold Writers’ Conference in Denver, to the Trinity University Women and Girls’ Leadership Summit in San Antonio, to her closing talk to 1400 people at TEDx Bend. Katherine is never happier than when she’s making a big room full of people laugh and think about life in a slightly new way.
