About the author

Kathryn Hinds grew up near Rochester, NY, then moved to New York City to attend Barnard College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. She now lives in the beautiful mountains of north Georgia, but migrates back to the southern shore of Lake Ontario nearly every summer. Although Kathryn has held a variety of jobs—waitress, administrative assistant, early childhood educator, research assistant, editorial assistant, French and Latin tutor, library information specialist—writing has been her constant occupation. Her published works include poetry, short stories, a coauthored book on Celtic mythology, and more than fifty nonfiction books for children and young adults. Her most recent books are the fantasy novel The Healer's Choice; The Forty, a collection of short stories co-authored with James Palmer, with photographs by Fox Gradin; and a volume of poetry, Candle, Thread, and Flute. Kathryn teaches English at the University of North Georgia.
