CREATIVE MULTIDISCIPLINARY TALENT
About Me
Kathy Lynne Marshall isn't just a genealogist; she's a historical detective, giving voice to the forgotten. Through meticulous research and a touch of creative empathy, she unearths the stories of women, African Americans, and other unsung heroes who shaped America. Imagine experiencing history through the eyes of those who lived it–that's the power of Kathy's "speculative nonfiction." But she doesn't stop there. Kathy empowers others to reclaim their heritage, leading workshops and sharing her successful research and self-publishing secrets so anyone can become the author of their family story.
Kathy has been featured in Sacramento Magazine, The Sacramento Bee, The Sacramento Observer, Sacramento News & Review, and Elk Grove Citizen. She has been interviewed on CBS-TV, Fox40-TV for the annual Genealogy Seminar in Sacramento, as well as several podcasts. She has delighted audiences at local and national genealogy and writing conferences, including as keynote speaker in 2024. She has also served as a consultant to West Virginia’s Beverly Heritage Center.
Multiple Book Awards grace Kathy’s bookshelves from the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, Northern California Publishers and Authors (NCPA), Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (AAHGS), and Sons and Daughters of the US Middle Passage (SDUSMP). She is a member of the California Writers Club, Elk Grove Writers Guild, and Black Women Write, AAHGS, and SDUSMP.
