Books
On this page you'll find a complete list of my novels, poetry, and my short story collection. Most of my novels are for middle grade readers (8-12 year olds), but The Origin Stone is intended for teens (13+), and The Curse of Earthias and Cosmic Witch are more suitable for older teens (15+). My short story collection, When the Bard Came Visiting, is aimed at adult readers, and my poetry is suitable for most ages (though parents/guardians may wish to read them through first before giving to younger readers).
Roar/Raw (poetry)
Roar/Raw is a powerful, deeply honest collection of poetry exploring life as a neurodivergent and disabled woman in a world that often demands quiet. With unflinching vulnerability and sharp lyrical insight, Kathryn Rossati brings to the page the intensity of overstimulation, the grief of not fitting in, and the joy of self-recognition.
From the tenderness of A Letter to My Childhood Self to the raw sensory overload of Rattled Bones, these poems speak directly to the experience of living with AuDHD, offering both comfort and clarity to readers who see themselves reflected here – and a window into that world for those who don’t.
