About the author
Katharine R Pepper
<p>Katharine R. Pepper has always loved reading books, but secretly she's always been a frustrated novelist. Her first efforts, around the age of 19, were corny, romantic stories banged out on a manual typewriter (with heroes who looked very much like Tom Selleck in his <em>Magnum PI</em> days (#showingherage)). Let's just say they were good typing practice!</p>
<p>Katharine has lived in Melbourne, Grafton, Alice Springs and Adelaide, been married twice and divorced once, has two (now adult) children with Husband No. 1 and a stepson with (current) Husband No. 2. She finally rediscovered writing when she moved to the Gold Coast with her children in 2000 (after separating from Husband No. 1) and joined the Gold Coast Writers’ Association. Soon after this, she became part of The Ten Penners, a subgroup of the GCWA. The group has released three anthologies for children: <em>Fan-tas-tic-al Tales </em>in 2009, <em>Mystery, Mayhem & Magic</em> in 2017 and <em>Backyard Beasts & Curious Capers</em> in 2023.</p>
<p>She has published two novels: <em>Shadow of a Soldier </em>in 2013 (previously released under the name "Kate Russell", but now updated with a new cover for 2021) and <em>The Players, </em>also in 2021. Katharine has six other novels in progress: two with a crime scene cleaner as the protagonist, three featuring a teenage witch (YA), and one standalone historical fantasy (YA).  </p>
<p>Katharine has been a member of the Queensland Writers Centre and Sisters in Crime for many years. She also has a blog:</p>

<p>(which she doesn't update nearly enough).</p>
