K. E. Augustine And Utz's Cheese Balls

Decent Essays
K. E. Augustine (aka Kate) was born and raised in Wisconsin. She is a descendent of four generations of Wisconsinites on both sides of her family. Kate's passion for writing began in fourth grade, when a trip to South Carolina, and a chance encounter, inspired an essay on turtles. Kate’s fascination for turtles continues to this day and is only exceeded by her love of Utz’s Cheese Balls.

When not writing Kate can be found swimming laps at the pool, cleaning her messy room, rescuing stray cats, or arguing with her obnoxious brother.
