WELCOME

I'm Katherine Marsh. I write books about kids. Some are alive. Some are dead. Some lived hundreds of years ago. All of them find themselves in unusual situations and places. Some of them are unusual themselves.

If you've ever wondered about ghosts, secret underground places, the lives of court dwarfs, the power of fate, the invincibility of death, and how (and how not) to keep a beer-drinking moose as a pet, then you'll probably enjoy my books. Warning: They may make you laugh. They will almost certainly make you cry.

My debut novel, The Night Tourist, won the Edgar® Award for Best Juvenile Mystery. It was published in translation in ten countries.

My forthcoming novel, Jepp, Who Defied the Stars, will be released in the U.S. on October 9, 2012 and in the U.K. and Australia on November 1.

If you're already a fan, or simply want to learn more, I invite you to follow me on Facebook, Twitter and through my mailing list for news, updates, and chat.
