Kathryn Radaker

When a babysitter suggested to a 5-year-old Kathryn that she ought to write a book for her parents to read when they got back from their date night, she had no idea what she'd started. After that first book about a little girl who got too sick to visit her grandparents, Kathryn never stopped writing.

Now she writes no-spice epic fantasy and fairy tale retellings for young adults, where she can indulge her love of magic, adventure, and happily-ever-afters. As someone who reads for the sake of escaping the worries of daily life and seeking imaginative joy, Kathryn writes to inspire beauty and wonder in the hearts of her readers.
