Hello lovely people!

I’m Kim (as you may have guessed, given that you're on the author page for Kim). I write funny fantasies and off-beat cosy (or cozy, depending where you're from) mysteries set in a world not so dissimilar to ours - and in fact sharing many locations.

And in this not-dissimilar world you'll find mystery-solving dragons with a strong affection for barbecues and scones, and snarky feline PIs with human sidekicks. You'll run across baking-obsessed reapers running petting cafes stocked with baby ghouls, Apocalyptic riders on Vespas, and women of a certain age Getting Things Done. There may even be the odd born-again troll redefining troll-ness for the modern age about the place.

You'll find myth and reality clashing in small an

That makes for a very happy author <3 And, as it happens, I'm juuuust about to send the new Gobbelino adventure off to my wonderful editor, so it'll be out in a couple of months! I'm also planning another for the autumn, and expect to have about two more the following year to complete the series. (less)

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for the question! I hadn't thought to, as they're just little accompaniments to the books and not available to buy or download otherwise. But I shall add it to the list of things to look into! (less)

Quotes by Kim M. Watt  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Tea and baked goods feature heavily in the majority of my stories, not just because they suit the life of the W.I., but because food is so often much more than fuel. It’s a way of taking care of ourselves, of creating bonds and memories and friendships. It’s a language we all speak, a common ground between everyone. Even dragons.”
Kim M. Watt, The Beaufort Scales Cozy Mysteries (with Dragons) Collection: Tea, murder, & magic in the Yorkshire Dales (Books 1 - 4)

“It’s quite another to make the leap and trust in physics to catch you. Particularly when you’re a cat, and so have a pretty casual relationship with physics anyway. In fact, physics probably wants to have a stern word with you, likely involving mass, velocity, and force.”
Kim M. Watt, Gobbelino London & a Scourge of Pleasantries

“sometimes think that the capacity of humans to cope with disaster is directly proportional to the availability of tea. That, or whisky. It depends on the individual.”
Kim M. Watt, Gobbelino London & a Scourge of Pleasantries
