About the Author

Born in Redditch, England, to a solicitor and an ex-military man, one of Katherine Macdonald's earliest memories was of watching her parents disappear behind the pages of a book and wanting to follow them. For her, books were little pocket dimensions that could be carried about, and the safest way to have a very real adventure. Rather than rebel during her teenage years, she spent most of them locked up in her room, furiously writing down the hundreds of stories filling her head. Her little sister Kirsty served as her primary audience, and first fan. Without her, Macdonald would never have continued to write. After completing a BA in English and creative writing at Lancaster University, she moved to Exeter to train as an English teacher, and then to Kent to start her career. It was only after surviving a year of parenthood and a full-time job on less than six hours a night that she finally gained the courage to publish The Rose and the Thorn a retelling of Beauty and the Beast inspired by a dream of a girl surrounded by snow in a field of flowers. At her heart, Macdonald is storyteller, and it is her dream to inspire others in the way that she has been inspired. She currently lives in Devon with her manic two-year-old, in a cabin in the woods.Sasha Higgins is a classically trained actress and voice artist who majored in French and creative writing at the University of Michigan before attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York.
