Kathryn James

Kathryn always wanted to become an author and wrote her first story at age eight. But it took quite a while and lots of different jobs before she got published.

She's worked with gypsy and traveller children, working from a converted bus with a rainbow on the side, doing video and photography projects, and documenting travelling lives.

She's also written scripts for a local video production company, many of them for children and teenagers.

Mist is her first published book as Kathryn James, and the sequel FROST is out in 2012. She now writes full-time and loves it.
