What a wonderful world it is to have books. Imagine one without it, without many imaginations
devoted to giving children a place to discover new worlds, make friends, and see a wider view
other than what they have at home without ever leaving it. That was KC Sprayberry's life when
she learned to appreciate books as a child, one she decided young to share with others the best
way she knew how, writing. So many things interested her, so many adventures beckoned she had no
idea how to discover all of them at once. For years, she vowed to do it through architecture. It
sounded so fascinating. College brought dreams of photo/journalism and rediscovering the desire
to write but a diversion to a military career took her to Europe for five and a half years. Seeing
Germany, France, and Spain only increased her determination to write stories she heard in her head.
Finally, after many years of putting it off, she took the plunge and began committing those stories
to paper at almost 40! So old, not near young enough to write children's stories but she persevered
and found others believed she could do it.
Now over 50, she lives in LaFayette, Georgia with her husband, Jim, and youngest son, Josh. She
shares this home with a Labrador/Dalmatian, Cujo, (affectionately called Cujie by one and all)
and a near human cat called Fireball. Books, movies, and music fill our home when we're not out
and about in an area rich in history. Wherever we go, we find wonderful little items we cram around
all the others we've found over the years.
She's blessed her son, and his older brothers and sisters, love what she does, or she would have
no idea where she would turn, even if she embarrasses them on occasion by taking their misadventures
and turning them into stories.
