Her new novel, Groundswell, is loosely based on her life. Although cooking has always been a passion of hers, surfing is actually what inspired her to write this novel. After her divorce to singer, Billy Joel, in 2009, Katie took up surfing and it changed her life for the better. She’s moving right along…
The novel is about a young woman, Emma Guthrie, moving on from her divorce from a superstar actor and the glitz and glamour that came with it. Katie chronicles what comes next for Emma and how surfing played a vital role in her healing and helped her find what she really needed. “How losing everything you thought you wanted can be the first step to finding what you really need”
