Katelynn Dilday has been happily losing herself in whimsical worlds for as long as she can remember. When she realized growing up did not require leaving them behind, she decided to write her own stories, inviting readers to escape alongside her. She is especially fond of tales rich in atmosphere, quiet longing, and the kind of magic that lingers after turning the last page.

Dilday’s short story “Brewing Affection” appears in The Perfect Blend: A Coffee Shop-Inspired Sweet Romance Anthology (2026). Follow Dilday on Instagram @author_katelynndilday and her author website.
