Welcome!
Latest Apr 2026: Writing is on hold at the moment while I prepare to launch a podcast called 'Save Democracy'. Currently I'm in Hungary following the elections. My last screenplay was set in the war in Ukraine and a character in my middle grade fiction started talking about Ukraine... okay, muse, I get the message! Once the podcast is up and running I plan to return to writing alongside the pod (Save Democracy launches later in April on all major platforms).
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."
