Kaitlyn Sage Patterson grew up with her nose in a book outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in East Tennessee. She started begging her parents to put her on a horse as soon as she learned to talk. After six long years they finally relented, and Kaitlyn began learning to ride. By the time she was ten she was working off extra lesson time by mucking stalls and helping out around the barn.

Kaitlyn never shook the riding bug, and she is currently training her first horse, an off the track thoroughbred named Boon, to compete in dressage and eventing. In addition to Boon, her house is currently filled with menagerie of adopted animals includes two black trashcan cats, a one-eyed ragdoll kitten, and a toothless greyhound. 

Her debut novel, THE DIMINISHED, was published by HarlequinTEEN in 2018. Its sequel, THE EXALTED followed in 2019.  Her new middle grade series, Windy Creek Stables, will be published by Feiwel and Friends beginning in 2025.
