After spending her childhood in Canada and then three years as a diehard New Yorker, Katharine Swartz now lives in the Lake District with her husband – an Anglican minister – their five children, and a Golden Retriever. She enjoys such novel things as long country walks and chatting with people in the street, and her children love the freedom of village life – although she often has to ring four or five people to figure out where they’ve gone off to!
She writes also under the name Kate Hewitt, and she always enjoys delivering a compelling and intensely emotional story. Find out more about her books at www.katharineswartz.com.
