Hello and welcome to my website!

My name is Catherine Khaperska and I am an eighteen-year old author from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I’ve been writing essentially all my life, and I love to read. My favourite genre is fantasy, though I also enjoy romance, sci-fi, and dystopia. My favourite authors are Rick Riordan, V. E. Schwab, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Lucy Maud Montgomery, to name a few. 

I typically write novels, however I also write short stories and poetry. My novels lean more towards fantasy while my short stories lean more towards contemporary and hypothetical themes, and my poetry is a mix of all kinds of things. My dream is to be a published novelist as a full-time career. You can find a list of my publishing/literary achievements on my Publications page. I was also part of the editorial team at And Gallons magazine, a NewPages accredited magazine (currently closed). I was also on the Halifax Public Libraries Teen Podcast (“It Came From The Second Floor”) for the early and late 2022 terms.

Besides reading and writing, I have many hobbies. I did gymnastics for nine years and competitive dance for three. I competed with multiple different dance styles, including acro, jazz, and modern/contemporary.

I also am an avid video gamer and I love to play games such as Minecraft and Roblox, and have been playing video games since I was about ten. I like to sew and knit my own clothing, and I like to create all sorts of things from a variety of materials. I have played the clarinet in my school band since grade 6 and I love music in all sorts of forms. I am also part of my high school Improv Team as I have been since 2022, placing third in 2023, second in 2024, and fourth regionally but 3rd in our online national competition most recently, in 2025!

Thanks for reading!
