Welcome!

Latest June 2026: Writing is on temporary hold at the moment while I focus on establishing a weekly podcast called 'Save Democracy'. Once the pod is well on its way, I plan to dedicate mornings to writing. The sacred time. I guess it's to be expected, but I am finding the writing mode seeps into the podcast work. So perhaps, I have never really left.

It has been suggested to me to write a novel drawing from my last screenplay, set in the war in Ukraine. I have to sleep on that but the idea has gone out to buy teabags and probably wants me to walk in a forest and swim in the sea before I make that decision. Back to democracy. In the event you're interested in the pod, all the links are on this website:

Save Democracy


The screenplay 'Odesa', which reached the finals and semi-finals of international competitions, is a feature film love story between an American and a Ukrainian that throws a light onto the horrors of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Professional readers describe it as an "emotionally compelling war drama", "a complex expression of romance blossoming under fire" and a "poignant exploration of human connection amidst chaos", with award-winning potential. 

After a visit to the Polish/Ukraine border to speak with refugees in 2022, there was little else I could write about. I have since visited Ukraine three times. And of course, Ukraine will feature in the podcast.

Thank you for visiting!

In The Journey of Water, a woman lost in mid-life, 10,000 miles from home, walks out the door, unhooks in nature, and keeps on walking, in a remarkable adventure that transforms her understanding of what it means to be alive. 

 

Marci Shimoff, #1 New York Times bestselling author, Happy for No Reason and Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul:

"The Journey of Water is a deep dive into one woman's pilgrimage of discovery. Katherine Davies' beautifully written book
offers a compelling story that enthralls and delights while delivering powerful wisdom that leaves a lasting impression.
This book is not to be missed."
