Kathryn Wild

Neuro-spikey writer, fantasy geek, history nerd, football fan and amateur photographer.

Kathryn Wild is history nerd and a fantasy geek. She is football fan (Sheffield Wednesday) and loves to travel and see the world. Despite being dyslexic, Kathryn has always loved books, writing and generally telling or listening to stories.

Kathryn grew up in Sheffield, before doing her degree in Bangor (Wales) and her PGCE in Newcastle. She has taught and lived in England, Thailand, Switzerland and Spain. She has previously worked in the voluntary sector in Yorkshire and her current ‘day job’ is a national role in the public sector. She lives in South Yorkshire with her two cats.

The original idea for Firebound and the following series came when Kathryn was travelling around Asia in 2009. Kathryn was in Cambodia visiting Angkor Wat, in an evening with nothing to read until the second-hand book shops opened in the morning and nothing in English on the TV, she started to dream up her own story and the character of Abigail was created. After more than ten years of hard work mixed in with day jobs, the story is now complete and she hopes you have enjoyed reading it as much as she enjoyed writing it.
