K.J. Wetherholt has been influenced by depictions of war since childhood, eventually taking such interests to become involved in International Relations, Human Security and Humanitarian Affairs, including as an SME on modern war.

However, also having grown up among the writers and artists of northern Michigan, she would also take great inspiration from Hemingway's Nick Adams stories, including those about Adams post-WWI, and additionally, later, the WWI writings of Siegfried Sassoon, especially having been moved by Memoirs of an Infantry Officer, having incorporated one of Sassoon's poems, "Aftermath," in the manuscript for The Illumination.

She is Publisher/Executive Editor for MIPJ (http://www.mipj.org) and Humanitas, with an additional in

Quotes by K.J. Wetherholt  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There are major revolutions every few hundred years--humanity seems to depend on things being shaken up from time to time, to remind them of what is the most important. During those periods of conflict, in addition to the chaos which is inevitable, there is also a thread of great enlightenment. The light at the end of the tunnel, as it were. You don't ignore the dark side of truth, but you don't dwell on it to the detriment of forward movement. You have to also focus on what is best in humanity--those aspects of who we are which is luminescent, and perhaps even moreso in contrast to those dark moments. Showing both sides is what becomes incredibly important.”
K.J. Wetherholt

“We are of opinion that instead of letting books grow moldy behind an iron grating, far from the vulgar gaze, it is better to let them wear out by being read.”
Jules Verne, Journey to the Center of the Earth

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
Lao Tzu

“Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.”
Lao Tzu

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
