Katherine Elizabeth Krohn (born 1961) is an American author born in Bitburg, Germany to American-born parents.[1] Krohn is a prolific writer of books for children and young adults. Writing for young reader's series such as USA Today Lifeline Biographies and A&E Biography (published by Lerner Publishing Group), her works include many well-reviewed titles, such as the Carter G. Woodson Honor Book Ella Fitzgerald: First Lady of Song,[2][3] and the Oregon Book Award contender Women of the Wild West.[4][5] In recent years, Krohn ventured from the biographical format to create graphic science and graphic history titles for Capstone Press and Gale Cengage Learning.
