Kate Allison grew up in Birmingham and spent her childhood exploring the same patch of boggy woodland that is said to have inspired Tolkien. An avid reader and writer since childhood, Kate left a career in web content management to become a carer to her youngest daughter who has a rare genetic condition that causes learning disabilities. When not writing, she can be found running ultramarathons, playing board games, or helping at her local food bank. Kate lives in the Malvern Hills with her family.
