Hello, I'm Katie. Thank you for visiting my page. I’m excited to meet you, and would be thrilled if you read my books, and even more if you enjoyed them.

‘Puck’s Legacy’ (https://amzn.eu/d/frvJUDU) is about what happens when you escape from reality into fiction, and whether it's possible to return. It's also about drama, love and extremism, but mostly it's about obsession. It was a beast to write, and a brutal little beast at that, but I'm in love with everybody in it.
My other book, 'Memories of a Lost Thesaurus' (https://amzn.eu/d/aagnxk5) revolves around a four people and a flooded block of flats. Everyone has something to fix - but the flood is the least of it. It's about bullying, and blame, and being trapped.

I have several other novels on the go - (I'm capricious, what can I say?). 'Unforgotten Monsters' is set in a mysterious village in which everything looks right...but isn't somehow... It is currently waiting in my drawer to be released and edited after a suitable period. 'Things As They Are' is in the planning stage.

Since childhood, aside from a brief period when I wanted to be a shepherdess and another brief period when I wanted to be an actress, I have been scribbling stories, novels and plans for novels in increasingly illegible handwriting. Luckily I am now old enough to own a computer, and so can read the things I have written, usually immediately developing an intense hatred for them. During the writing process, however, I remain convinced that they are works of genius, and love nothing more than being deep in the world of the characters I have invented, and then finding myself faintly surprised to rediscover real life.

I believe in books because they create a community, and, whether you are a fellow writer or a fellow reader I would love to hear from you. You can contact me via my website or post an 'Ask the Author' question on here.

In the meantime, keep reading, writing, or just playing around on the internet, whichever interest it was that brought you here.

Best wishes and good luck with whatever you're working on,

Katie
