Kathryn A Sletto is a shepherdess and grants administrator who lives near Alexandria, Minnesota.
"Kathy Sletto brings new meaning to the concept of going green. I'd
call it going broke, and her story will break you up, too--with
laughter."Suzann Nelson, coauthor of Growing Up Lutheran"Like a
knitting project that cannot be put down, Keeping Watch sweeps the
reader into a compelling engagement with small-scale farm life. The
author deftly spins fibers and story, and her strong, warm, and
resilient characters, both wooly and human, will linger as a
welcome presence in your heart."
Cat Bordhi, author of A Treasury of Magical Knitting "Stopping just
short of anthropomorphizing her woolly and furry charges, Sletto
observes them closely and respects the emotions behind their
dejected bleating or excited wriggling. It doesn't hurt that she
has a gift for comic pacing, spinning her tales with just enough
exposition, description and touches of Minnesota color."
Star Tribune"Keeping Watch is a lively--often hilarious, sometimes
sad--account of [Sletto's] decision to become a full-time
shepherdess, the difficulties she faced, the joys and pitfalls
along the way, and, most of all, it's a story of the most
entertaining menagerie of critters you're likely to come across
this side of Dr. Doolittle."
Alexandria Echo Press"Here [Sletto] tells the stories of Tony the
lamb-loving alpaca, Steve the possum-playing rabbit, and the
dilemma of bending a fast paced freelance job with the duties of a
full-time shepherdess. A great read for any animal lover."
