Kathryn is a Sydney author whose interest in history and mythology was the catalyst for her debut novel Erinland to become a reality.
A visual writer, Kathryn explores the mythologies of ancient Norway and Ireland, giving a tangible view of everyday life and the impact of the Gods in these two cultures.
Kathryn has also delved into the world of picture books, and with the help of talented artist Susan Boyle, has created Gunner.
The inspiration for this story is based on actual events. Set in Darwin during World War II, Gunner is just another stray dog wandering on the RAAF Base, looking for scraps of food. He is injured during an air raid and is rescued by personnel from No. 2 Squadron.
Gunner becomes a mascot for the Base and later discovers he has a unique talent. How will he use this talent to help others?
Kathryn loves to write and dabble in other creative pursuits, in her spare time.
