Welcome!
Katherine Budd was born and resides in the district of Epping Forest, Essex. She is an indie author and qualified life coach (Edexcel), which she also combines with managing her Event and Virtual PA business, Kay Lundy Limited. Katherine loves to organise anything, the more complex the better! She also loves to dance.......Latin, Ballroom and Argentine Tango.......and has found a true joy in learning to play the Harp.
Katherine's maternal Maltese grandmother, Rosina Budd, nee Friggieri - fondly known as Rose Budd ~ rosebud ~ delighted Katherine with compelling stories of her own childhood living on the island of Malta back in the early 20th century. Swimming in the sea, dressing up for carnival, fireworks and the noisy Summer festas were her strongest memories. In 1985 Katherine emigrated to Malta, where she married and had a daughter.
Ten years later, with her young family, she returned to the UK to pursue a career in London and qualify as a motivational life coach. However, Katherine's affection for this ancient archipelago, with its rich heritage, has never left her and, with the relatively recent experience of having typed six novels for a published author, embarked on writing her own first novel, now published as an e-book 'All For You And Malta' which exemplifies how one woman's strength of character, her determination to succeed and her true aspiration for ambition have been the building blocks to her achieving success, personal fulfilment, contentment and happiness in love. These are the character traits that Katherine has been interested in exploring through her life coaching experience. The main setting of the story was an easy decision to make but she also chose Brixham in Devon - a busy, pretty fishing village with a strong naval connection at nearby Dartmouth on the South West coast of England - which provided a suitable contrast.
Katherine Budd Take 2 : With her love for the English language and the knowledge and qualification she acquired in her life coach studies, Katherine is continuing to explore motivational writing and hopes that these pages and her blog, katherinebuddtake2, will help to inspire and motivate its readers to achieve their personal goals.
