JK Keane spent her early years running wild in the forests of her native Germany. When she was four years old, she decided that she was going to be an animal doctor. Her dream came true and she worked for more than twenty years as a vet first in Germany and then in the UK. Now retired, she lives with her husband in Shropshire. When she is not busy writing, you’ll probably find her exploring the local woods, looking for the best climbing trees or tracking the forest animals together with her grandchildren.
Her love of animals and nature inspires her writing. She is especially fond of forests and hopes that the Mia books will encourage children and their families to go on woodland adventures and look for the trees and animals that live there.

I looked for a short, easy to read and memorable name and somehow Mia just felt right. (less)

My writing group forced me to read my stories out loud and it was a real eye-opener as I spotted problems I had not noticed before. It is lovely to be part of a group of like-minded people and have a safe place where you can share your writing (even a scrappy first draft). Accept that improving your craft will take a lot of time and dedication and will be a never-ending process. Keep editing your work. Try to find your own voice and keep writing, even when you start doubting yourself.(less)

A powerful story that will stay with me for a while. The writing is superb, and I loved the first 3/4 of the book. Towards the end, I found it a bit tough because of the bleakness of Demon's life at that point, the topics of drug addiction and opiode ...more
