Mary Kate Kopec lives in Dexter, Michigan with her husband, Paul, and their Bear-ific, Bear-tastic, Bear-abulous cat, Bear–who thinks he’s human, and they don’t have the heart to tell him that he’s not. Mary Kate has earned Master’s degrees in Human Genetics and Educational Studies. She has spent lots of time teaching in the community college classroom and advising university students on how to make good choices–all the while keeping them laughing and entertained with her stories and antics. She is an advocate for community, family, and friends. You can visit her at www.MaryKateKopec.com.
