Kate McMullan

Kate McMullan, born on January 16, 1947, in St. Louis, Missouri, developed a love for reading at a young age. She would spend hours at a time reading books, often with a pet dog or cat on her lap. McMullan's passion for reading eventually led her to become a prolific children's book author, with more than one hundred books to her name.

McMullan is perhaps best known for her Dragon Slayers' Academy series, as well as her award-winning "I STINK!" series, which her husband, Jim McMullan, illustrates. These books have inspired "THE STINKY & DIRTY SHOW," which is currently streaming its second season on Amazon. In addition to these series, McMullan has written books to encourage new readers, including the Fluffy the Classroom Guinea Pig series and Pearl & Wagner, which centers around a rabbit-mouse friendship.

McMullan has also written the early chapter book series, Dragon Slayers Academy, to entice struggling readers with medieval mayhem, bad knock-knock jokes, and a pig Latin-speaking pig. For middle-grade readers, she has penned ten Myth-O-Mania books, which retell Greek myths from the perspective of Hades. Her recent picture books include "I'm Tough!", "How Do You Go to Sleep?", and "As Warm as the Sun," which feature the McMullan's French bulldogs, Toby and Pinkie. McMullan, who grew up in St. Louis, now resides in New York City.
