More About Katie
Katie loves tales of adventure in wide-open spaces or sinister dark alleys. She loves unconventional fantasy stories that take a fresh look at old legends and well-known tropes. She loves unconventional romance, too, though she has a soft spot for overprotective fellas and lovable idiots. Especially cowboys. For some reason, she really has a thing for cowboys.
Katie considers herself Maggie Stiefvater’s number one fan, a role she does not take lightly. After Stiefvater, her biggest writing inspirations are Louis L’Amour and Sir Terry Pratchett.
