The Gateways Series
Kathleen Bradford’s Gateways Series is a powerful fantasy trilogy exploring compassion, self-discovery, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. Set across mystical worlds filled with hidden powers, cosmic forces, and unforgettable adversaries, the series follows Valeen Martin as she discovers the extraordinary abilities she once denied within herself.
In The Light Worker, Valeen’s journey begins when a mysterious encounter awakens her spiritual gifts and forces her to confront the choices between fear and truth. In The Shadow Chasers, she enters a breathtaking world where peace exists alongside greed, pride, and corruption, leading her into a dangerous battle against Krista, a powerful woman seeking control over existence itself.
The story continues in The Song of Dragons, where Valeen travels into a mysterious dragon realm filled with both despair and hope. There she faces Cornelius, a man consumed by grief and fear whose actions threaten magical creatures and his own family. Through each trial, Valeen must choose compassion over condemnation while embracing the strength of her evolving powers.
Blending fantasy with emotional depth and metaphysical themes, the Gateways Series invites readers into an immersive world where every choice shapes destiny.
Meet Kathleen Bradford
Hello, fellow dreamer! I'm Kathleen, and if there's one thing that fills my days - and my stories - it's the wonder found in everyday moments and how they can shape extraordinary adventures. My writing journey began long before my first book was published around 2010, but the spark came from a lifetime of facing surprises, challenges, and joys right here in the real world. Every triumph and stumble found its way onto the page, transformed into magical realms and characters that, I hope, will feel like friends. I believe everyone has a bit of magic inside, just waiting to shine. My worlds might be filled with fantasy, but the feelings - self-doubt, fear, excitement - are as real as they come. If you've ever longed to escape but also craved stories that see you for who you truly are, you just might find a home here. Curious to know what inspires the next adventure? Let's wander farther together.

Discover the Magic Within
Since childhood, stories have been my way of making sense of this vast, beautiful world. I'm Kathleen, a lifelong writer who believes every moment - whether joyful or tough - can become the seed for something magical. I draw from my own journey through wonders and hardships to create novels that speak to anyone who has ever doubted, hoped, or longed for courage. To me, fantasy isn't only about escaping; it's about finding yourself in a new light, seeing your own fears and dreams reflected in another time or place. As a female author and a family-centered soul from Utah, I pour heart and hope into every page. My mission is very simple: inspire bravery, offer comfort, and spark wonder in readers around the world. Every book is a new adventure - ready for you to join.
