In the late eighties she moved to California where she studied creative writing at Long Beach Community College. She then became involved with the LB poetry scene, reading poetry on trains and in laundromats with the Carma Bums. She performed regularly in the nineties in Los Angeles and Long Beach, was a featured poet at Beyond Baroque in Venice Beach and was published in On Target, Pearl and Brainchild. Katy began writing short stories when she retired from teaching in 2008. They have variously been read on the radio or published in literary journals. She still performs songs and poetry at 'The Song and Poetry Thing' on Waiheke Island. Her debut short story collection, My First Real Pash and Other Stories, was published by Lasavia Publishing in 2021.
