Hi, I’m Kathryn!
I write books for kids and teens.
What’s New
The Thirteenth Circle is now out in audiobook format! This edition is produced by Recorded Books and narrated by Laura Knight Keating, and MarcyKate and I are so happy to be able to reach readers in another way. Check it out (and listen to a sample) HERE.
The Thirteenth Circle is on shelves! Please read it—and consider spreading the word about it and/or leaving a review on a trade website, to help other readers find it. MarcyKate and I are so incredibly grateful for your support. Click HERE for more info about the book!
Looking for a signed copy of The Thirteenth Circle? There are currently signed editions at the Barnes & Noble locations in Union Square, NYC, and Burlington, MA, as well as at The Silver Unicorn Bookstore in Acton, MA, McNally Jackson Seaport in NYC, and Books of Wonder in NYC! MarcyKate and I are also happy to mail you a bookplate signed by both of us, if you’ve purchased the book elsewhere but would like it personalized. Email me!
I am currently booking school visits for spring and fall 2024! Click HERE to get more info on my school visit offerings, and feel free to get in touch with any questions. I offer Class Critters visits for grades K-3 and Thirteenth Circle visits for grades 4-8. I can’t wait to talk to your students. I also offer free virtual visits (15-20 minutes)—email me to book a virtual read-aloud + Q&A for your classroom or library.
