Biography
Kathleen George was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in 1943. She attended college at the University of Pittsburgh's Johnstown campus for several years before transferring to Pitt's main campus in 1963. She received her bachelor of arts in English with an emphasis on creative writing in 1964, and her Master's degree in Theatre Arts in 1966. Afterwards, she took an assistant professor position at Carlow College (1968-1976). In 1975, she completed her PhD in Theatre from Pitt and the next year became an associate professor there. Throughout the 1980s and 90s she directed many productions for the University of Pittsburgh Repertory Theatre and the Three Rivers Shakespeare Festival. Also, during this time she published two academic works, her dissertation Rhythm in Drama and Playwriting: the First Workshop.
Kathleen had been writing since she was a teenager and in 1988, she completed a second Masters of Fine Arts degree in creative writing. Her first of many published short stories was Country Tale in the journal Valhalla , in the fall of 1980. Throughout the eighties and nineties, she continued to have her short fiction published in a variety of journals. This culminated in the 1999 publication of a collection of these short stories, The Man in the Buick. Since then, Kathleen has found great success with a series of novels featuring Pittsburgh Police detective Richard Christie. The Odds , the fourth book in the series, was nominated for an Edgar award for best novel of 2009 by the Mystery Writers of America.
