Kathryn Hurn is an American writer, best known as the creator of the fictional character Lucy Bell, a semi-autobiographical story chronicling her life from a twenty-something retailer married to the wrong man, to a thirty-something single mother vying for independence, authenticity, passion and love and finally at fifty wins the man worthy of her love.

Born into a middle-class military family, Kathryn is the eldest of Mary Catherine and Lt. Col. William P. Hurn’s five children. She credits both her parents for exemplifying and encouraging lifelong learning, creativity and fearless pursuit of dreams. She spent her early life following her father’s Air Force transfers from one end of the United States to the other. Girls Scouts and family trips to Yosemite sparked a romance with Nature and mountains that continues to this day. Educated in parochial schools in California and Nebraska until attending high school in Limestone, Maine, (where she was Maine's Junior Miss), Kathryn went on to study Fashion Marketing at the Universities of Maine and North Texas.

An avid traveler, backpacker, artist and literary enthusiast, Kathryn is also a 30-plus-year fitness professional and yoga teacher. She has two grown sons and lives in Salt Lake City where they have the world’s best snow. (From the author.)
