Kaye Brown is a proud Kansan, born and raised (and still residing) in Wichita. Her earliest memory is reading children's books on the floor in the aisles of her neighborhood Wichita Public Library branch while her mom attended book club, and she has nurtured a love of words ever since. She constructs crosswords (sometimes), solves crosswords on Twitch (twice a week), and says words out loud (daily). Beyond words, she enjoys travel, trying new crafts (whittling, most recently!), and hanging out with her cats, Zelda and Jiji.
