(I'm now writing under the pen name of "Katharine R. Pepper", so all future books will be published under that name. I apologise for any confusion!)

I've always loved reading books, but secretly I think I've always been a frustrated novelist!

My first efforts, when I was around 19, were corny, romantic stories with heroes who looked very much like Tom Selleck in his "Magnum PI" days! (Hm - showing my age a bit there!)

Years passed. I got married, had children, got divorced, married again - all the usual stuff, and finally rediscovered writing when I moved to Queensland in 2000 and joined the Gold Coast Writers' Association.

Soon after this I joined The Ten Penners, a subgroup of the GCWA. We've released two anthologies for children - "Fan-tas-tic-al Tales" in 2009 and "Mystery, Mayhem & Magic" in 2017.

In 2013, I released my first novel, "Shadow of a Soldier", a paranormal, romantic suspense story for adults (written during NaNoWriMo 2012). "The Players", which began as a very rough draft written during NaNoWriMo 2013, is my second novel. I also have two other novels for adults and four for young adults in the early stages of editing.
