Welcome
Hello! I'm Katherine Davies, a writer inspired by nature and the heart of life.
Latest/Jan 2025: 'Odesa' reached the semi-finals of Santa Barbara International Screenplay Awards, and the UK's latest Page Turner Awards!! :-) Awards raise the visibility of a screenplay and increase its chance of being optioned and produced. Odesa is a contemporary war romance feature film screenplay set in Washington DC and Ukraine. Readers describe it as an "emotionally compelling war drama with a strong sense of purpose" and a "poignant love story". 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.

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."
