Author Kate McGahan has been a hospice counselor and clinical social worker for over 30 years. She began writing the "Jack McAfghan" Series in 2015 after the loss of her mixed-breed Afghan Hound, Jack. She was in the process of writing two unrelated novels when the loss of Jack -- and then her father the following day -- sent her reeling. Despite her professional experience in death and dying, she went through the dark nights of the soul as she attempted to cope with pet loss and complicated grief. Although Jack was sending her signs from Heaven all along, he finally reached her in the only way he knew how. Through her intuitive writing. The result would change the course of her life and ultimately those of her readers. Whether you are struggling with pet loss or the death of a loved one, Kate's books will apply to your personal journey and bring you out the other side of grief. Her writing is the culmination of rich personal experience combined with clinical expertise. A lifetime of studying spirituality and family dynamics makes each of her books comforting, entertaining and thought-provoking. Intensely spiritual, Kate sprinkles subtle seeds of faith to strengthen the reader's spiritual path. Kate draws forth in the reader a new understanding of human dynamics as well as reminders of the power of faith. When you learn something new you grow; when you grow you heal. It's all By Design. She writes each and every book to heal something in the reader. You can't read one of her books without healing something in your heart and soul. While you think she is just entertaining you, she is also planting seeds of wisdom and teaching you new ways of looking at yourself and those you love. These books will change the way you think. You will never look at life or death or love the same way again. Kate is a Licensed Master of Social Work with a Bachelor’s Degree from Nazareth College of Rochester and a Master’s Degree from Syracuse University. She currently resides with her two dogs, Immy and Joey, in Tubac, Arizona. There are more books and genres forthcoming!
