About Kat

Or Katharine. Or Kat, Katie, Kate or any variation thereof. I’m a fantasy author, avid reader and certified cat lady.


I’ve been writing since I could form letters on a page, and have been living a nomadic life bumbling around in imaginary worlds ever since.

I’m currently working on a cornish-steampunk mash-up, A Promise of Blood & Stone, featuring a reluctant witch, a vengeful prince and an unbreakable promise. I hope to be querying this in the summer of 2022.


If I could absorb fantasy and sci-fi books by osmosis, I definitely would, if only to dent my TBR list. I love reading (more than the cats…shhh…don’t tell them). There’s really nothing like being sucked into a unique world, steeped in cultures and histories and mythologies. Characters with rounded personalities, believable flaws and an innate ability to make a real mess of something really steal my heart (hello FitzChivalry). I’m also a sucker for the relatable strong female lead (Nahri is a fave).


When not reading or writing, I can usually be found annoying my two black-and-white cats who probably hate me (it’s hard to tell), or seeking out new running routes around South London.


You can find me on Instagram and Twitter.
