Kathleen Bandaruk is a singer, storyteller, and hopeless romantic who pours her heart into every note and every word. In her debut romance novel, Sweet Edith, she masterfully intertwines her lifelong passions for music and writing, telling the exciting story of Edith—a gifted but wounded singer discovering love, courage, and the harmony between following her passion and trusting her heart. It’s a love story that hits all the right notes for anyone who’s ever dared to chase a dream.

Kathleen herself has performed across the U.S., singing everything from operatic arias to jazzy ballads.  When she’s not writing or performing, she’s at home in southern New Jersey with her four rescue dogs, her charming husband, and a playlist packed with EDM beats. Whether she’s crafting stories, belting out a tune, or chasing chaos in her mid-century modern home, Kathleen pours passion into everything she does—just like Edith.
