About Kathryn Canavan
Kathryn worked as a reporter or editor in Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware.
She was named a National Health Journalism Fellow at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School of Communications and Journalism. Her fellowship project, “No Child Allowed Outside,” chronicled the health effects of gun violence on young children.
She was chosen as a Delaware Individual Artist Fellow for her research and writing.
She has been featured on PBS, CSAN-3 and the Discovery Channel. Her writing has appeared in USA Today, The Daily Beast and the History News Network.
She is a former dinosaur docent at Philadelphia’s Academy of Natural Sciences and a former long-time volunteer with Cub Pack 506, the nation’s first Cub Scout pack exclusively for boys living in shelters or on the streets.
“Killer in the House,” her newest book, was a labor of love. Her research brought her back to the street where the Abt murders happened five decades earlier. It reunited her with people interviewed then, and, with a large assist from them, she was able to tell the stories of the real heroes of Fleetwood Avenue.
