After a dozen years in the secular publishing industry, serving as both staff and freelance editor at major publishing houses, Kathleen Blease has turned her efforts toward Catholic writing and editing, blogging, and homeschooling.
Her blog is her latest endeavor. Kathleen's Catholic: How Grace Drizzles In highlights her original columns about how the Holy Spirit fills us with Grace in small drizzles at a time. Loyal to the Magisterium and genuinely Catholic, the blog is specifically designed to encourage moms who are married to non-Catholics and raising their children in the One True Faith. It also provides a myriad of Catholic resources for the entire famil and features The Little Catholic Kitchen.
Kathleen is also author of I Can't Wait to Meet My Daddy, a gift book for expectant dads. When she and her husband were expecting their first son, Kathleen presented a Christmas gift to her husband from their unborn child. This then became the hardcover edition available at Amazon.com, BN.com, and Barnes and Noble stores.
"I bought this book for my husband's birthday as a gift from our newborn son. The story brought tears to both of our eyes. I highly recommend this for any one who is going to be a father or already is one." --Dawn Smith, Twin Rivers, NJ. (from Amazon)

Kathleen Blease’s Summary
(please visit LinkedIn.com for further details)
From 1987-1991, I was fortunate to learn book editing from the "old school" editors, who worked closely with authors to develop manuscripts with depth and focus. From 1991 to 2003, I ran my own freelance service called Ghosts and Edits. My specific skills were ghost writing, developmental editing, and rewriting various nonfiction adult trade titles, from a variety of experts. Topics ranged from home improvements to finance to parenting. During this time, I also co-authored THE FISKE GUIDE TO COLLEGES with NY Times Education Editor, Edward B. Fiske for several years. I also published 5 gift books with Ballantine Books--such as LOVE IN VERSE: CLASSIC POEMS OF THE HEART--all of which stayed in print and on the publisher's backlist for 12 years. LOVE IN VERSE made the Boston Book Review's bestsellers list. In addition, a collaboration with painter Thomas Kinkade resulted in several gift books.
In 2003, I began homeschooling our children in the light of the Catholic Faith, using a classical method and studying Christian Latin. Today, as we continue with homeschooling, I also write KATHLEEN'S CATHOLIC: HOW GRACE DRIZZLES IN, a daily blog that features my original articles and my husband's photography. I am also the author of I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET MY DADDY a gift book for expectant dads.
