About Me

Hello, I'm Kaci.

I would describe myself as crafty, outgoing, and creative.

I love true crime and the supernatural.

I am currently reading: Their Vicious Darling by Nikki St. Crowe. I just finished four books while on vacation. They are: The Orphanage By The Lake by Daniel G. Miller-outstanding, The Woman In The Cabin by Becca Day-outstanding, Death Row by Freida McFadden-good, and The Fuck It List by Julie Halpern-really good.

I enjoy the following podcasts:

  • Favorite is Crime Junkie!!!! Followed by My Favorite Murder, Dateline, Criminal, Anatomy of Murder, Park Predators and newest I found called The Jefferson Fisher Podcast.

My husband and I have three cats we saved from the local Animal Control. Bella on 30 January, 2015. She is a Tortie! Daisy we saved on 21 July, 2022. She is a grey/white Tabby. Bad Bad Leroy Brown whom I actually found on the street the last week of May 2025. He is an orange Tabby.


I'm from WA State. My favorite flower is the Tulip.
