Kathi Kotchi grew up in Havertown, Pennsylvania. After high graduation, she went to nursing school in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, graduating in 1985. During that time, she thought of the concept for To The Moon And Back. Life progressed with working various jobs, meeting and marrying her husband, giving birth to three children and raising them. She tried to get it published in 2000 but was rejected by 26 agents. Moon never left her mind, and she would add to it over the years, with the dream of becoming a published author ever present. Kathi is the poster person for never giving up on your dreams! She works at a hospital in New Jersey, in a busy maternity unit, caring for postpartum mothers and their babies. She lives in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, with her husband, daughter, and best furry friend, her dog Ollie.
