Katherine said: “The launch at Waterstones went brilliantly. We had a fantastic turnout and got some great questions.

“I was interviewed by Alice, one of the booksellers, and it was a lovely evening.”

Katherine said she grew up in Lancashire and spent much of her childhood running across the moors or lost in a sea of books.

​Katherine takes inspiration from folklore, wild landscapes and the classics of the fantasy genre, as well as the natural world that surrounds her home.

When not writing, Katherine can usually be found knee-deep in mud, walking her two dogs with her partner, baking in her country kitchen or watching an old favourite period drama.

Sisters of Shadow is available on Kindle, paperback and audiobook from Amazon, Waterstones and other retailers.
