Kathryn Purdie's passion for storytelling began at a young age, enchanted by her father's narration of "To Kill a Mockingbird." This early interest led her to create home videos, act in stage productions, and compose sultry poetry. As a high school student, Purdie honed her acting skills and even won the Shakespearean awards. She filled at least ten pages of her journal every night, and her father, who edited her school papers, taught her the art of writing.
Purdie is a graduate of the Oxford School of Drama, where she specialized in Acting. Her love for storytelling led her to become a #1 New York Times bestselling author, with notable works including the BURNING GLASS series, the BONE CRIER'S MOON duology, and the upcoming THE FOREST GRIMM duology. Purdie's writing is inspired by her background as a trained classical actress, and she even writes songs on her guitar for each of her stories.
In addition to her writing, Purdie is a dedicated wife and mother, living in the Rocky Mountains with her husband and three children. She finds joy in writing songs for her characters, binge-watching TV shows, and indulging in Peanut Butter Oreos. Readers can learn more about Purdie and her work on her website.
