Kae Cheatham (Karyn Follis Cheatham) isn't a product of her environment—at least not the one she grew up in. Born in Ohio, Kae lived there through college (Ohio State). After marriage, she lived in Michigan, North Carolina and raised her two children to adulthood in Tennessee. But her abiding passion has always been the American West.
Kae has held jobs as a research analyst, sports magazine editor, movie extra, program director for at-risk children, rodeo photographer, copy editor, print model, and tutored math and history; she was also a USSF soccer coach, and a choir director.
Kae has written for newspapers and national magazines, including American Cowboy and Pro Rodeo World. For several years she was an assistant editor at Athlon Sports Communications. She has also edited for Thomas Nelson and Falcon Press. Her poetry has been published in many literary journals. (Get the details) Kae now lives in Montana and as a speaker, she travels to various locations to share her history and writing knowledge.
