Kitty-Lydia Dye's historical fiction has been influenced by the local myths roaming the haunting landscape of the Norfolk marshes.

Many of her short stories have appeared in The People's Friend magazine. She has also released two historical romance novellas -- Curious Governess, Dangerous Lord & The Redcoat's Honour.

She enjoys knitting dog jumpers, gazing at the waves at night, exploring church ruins as well as taking part in amateur dramatics (and played the part of an evil flying monkey!)
