Kathleen Jennings is a writer and illustrator in Brisbane, Australia.

Her short stories have appeared on Tor.com, in Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, in anthologies from Candlewick, Ticonderoga and Fablecroft Publishing, and elsewhere. Flyaway is her first novel.

Kathleen Jennings recommends
Haunt Sweet Home (2024)
Sarah Pinsker
"Kind but not gentle, Pinsker cuts to the core of the lives we craft and those that are imposed on us, and how it feels to be both in the circle by the fire, and forever lurking in the shadowy woods beyond."
The Briar Book of the Dead (2024)
A G Slatter
"A legend-netted fable of enchantment, The Briar Book of the Dead is decadent with jealousies, voluptuous with duty, upholstered with love and death. Slatter's world is warm and vicious, soft with forgotten crimes and protected by rites and duties. But while its boundaries are marked with ink and blood and fire, a cold wind curls in from beyond."
Saint Death's Daughter (2022)
(Saint Death, book 1)
C S E Cooney
"If you like Trudi Canavan, Laurie Marks, Mieville-but-kindly, Tansy Rayner Roberts, Pratchett at his gentlest & gravest, and a dash of Ellen Kushner's Tremontaine, and can imagine all these coexisting, then you begin to catch at the atmosphere of Saint Death's Daughter."
