Kathryn Fogleman’s love of creating art with words has been largely nurtured by the wild west of Oklahoma.
Spectacular sunsets that bathe the entire sky in flame.
Vivid rainbows on the edge of gargantuan black clouds that roll with bone rattling thunder.
Fierce winds and monstrous tornadoes that uproot entire towns with their rage.
Wild fires dozens of miles long that roar over the rolling waves of grass, battled and held at bay by mere men with the power of water.
One woman surrounded by endless miles of wild nature, forever untamed by man.
Despite the harshness that is Western Oklahoma, Kathryn is never left lacking for a story to tell.
When she’s not outrunning a wildfire, or watching the sun set in the West, Kathryn is usually painting these images into words and blowing them into her world, where dragons fly free.
Kathryn and her sister, having spent their entire lives in Oklahoma, created imaginary worlds in their backyard. They filled those worlds with all manner of people and creatures, and they escaped into that place as often as they could. They explored the lands they had created, and slew monsters they found there. They met elves, and men, and dragons, becoming fast friends with many of them.
As the two girls grew up, their love for these imaginary worlds never faded. When forced to lay down the wooden sword and pretend bow and arrows for the adult life, Kathryn found that the pen could be the mightiest weapon of all. She continued to slay monsters, speak with dragons, and ride wild horses with her imaginary friends, putting every adventure on paper.
That is how Tales of the Wovlen was born: a wild, unforgiving land and harsh reality was battled by a little girl who refused to grow up without her imagination blossoming with her.
