Katherine Black

Born in South Shields, Tyne & Weir, Katherine Black lives on the tip of the beautiful British Lake District. She lives with her partner, father-in-law and 4 dysfunctional but co-mingling pets.

She is mother, grandmother and secret keeper of all. Katherine is a full-time care giver for her father-in-law with Alzheimer’s, which leaves her some time for writing between removing teabags from the washing machine and raw bacon from his sandwiches.

Her marketing assistant is her German shepherd, Teagan, who generally snoozes, and her opinion is, ‘Yeah, seen it all before, Mum.’ Echo is the loudest cat known to man. First thing in the morning, Katherine has Echo on one side yelling his head off, and Dad on the other mimicking the cat. She expects to be writing from a prison cell very soon. Trevalion, the four foot Iguana, has learned how to use the cat flap and, despite the advent of another bleak, British winter, he insists on escaping into the garden where he sits awaiting rescue. Ravnica, the python, doesn’t have a lot to say—but looks lovingly at the cat.
