About Katy McWhirter
Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it\'s an early form of participation in what goes on.\"- Eudora WeltyHello, my name is Katy McWhirter. Like Eudora, my fascination with stories began in a Mississippi town, my father a small business owner, my mother keeping up with my sister and me. In a family of introverts, stories were our greatest treasures, our countless memories of evenings spent round the old oak table in the home my parents built from the ground up. The oversized bookcases framing our study held treasures gathered through time, with each of us contributing our favorites. My parents filled our home with beautiful antiques – not the rarified possessions of wealthy stock, but the primitive pieces used by similarly practical families that came before our own. It was in this atmosphere that my love for stories emerging from history first grew. Whether it was the unaccounted-for gashes in our pub table or the mysterious ending to a box of letters between lost lovers, we listened for the stories of our well-worn possessions.These days, my work as a writer and historian find me undertaking a variety of assignments. Recent projects include-\"Bluegrass & Brahmin: The Marriage of Marshall and Nora Bullitt\"(Book, January 2024)-\"For the Love of the Chase: The Equestrian Lives of Lowry Watkins & Barbara Bullitt\"(Book, May 2018)-\"Fierce Rivalries & Enduring Friendships: 75 Years of the Iroquois Steeplechase\"(Book, May
