Book for an event


Kathryn is an award-winning novelist and screenwriter who can't quite decide between the page and the screen, so she does both. She's the author of several novels for young readers, including the popular Alex and the Alpacas series, The Secret of the Stone, and now Whale Shark Jack — a story that started as a screenplay, became a novel, and has swum its way onto the big screen as a feature film.

When she's not writing books, she's developing and producing film and TV projects with creative partners scattered across the globe. She has a knack for finding stories that make audiences laugh, think, and believe in the extraordinary. And she's got plenty more of them waiting in the wings!


She calls Fremantle home, where she spends a lot of time roaming the neighborhood with her beloved dog, Pilot Bean, while plotting adventures across oceans, continents, and everywhere in between.
