Katje van Loon was raised surrounded by deep forests, wild wolves, witches, and books, with a warrior woman single mother to learn from. According to that mother, Katje's first poem was created when she was barely a toddler, and writing has been a huge part of her life since childhood.

Currently Katje is a wild witch trapped in the big city. Her dream is to drag her spouse off to a town small enough that everyone knows their names, and where the woods are so close she only needs take one half-s

Hi Sophie!

Yes, that article is about me. I didn't actually write it myself; it was ghostwritten by the journalist from the interview I gave (though I did get to edit it a bit after for facts/clarity). I'm so happy it was helpful for you! <3

I hope you enjoy my books! Hopefully soon I'll have some more out there. :)

THE POINT OF IT IS IN THE DOING

It’s fine not to have it all figured out.

I think hitting 40 usually comes with serious reflection on the younger years, on what one would have done differently, given a chance–given a do-over with knowledge of what the future held.

I know I’ve been thinking about it extensively. The main things that keep cropping up in my little fantasies of waking up in my preteens with memory of the next almost-

“though others should have liked to deny me.”
Katje van Loon, Bellica

“The boy shook his head, looking more scared now Helene's smile was gone. "No, Ma'am. I didn't think to ask," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.  Helene forced a smile back on her face and patted his shoulder. "We all make mistakes. Go on to your duties; I'll look in on Miranda.”
Katje van Loon, Bellica

“We pay for sins we do not remember, and seek to do a will we can scarce fathom. That is what it is, to be a god's chosen. ”
Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Avatar

“You have to be careful what seeds you sow on dirt where your roots have not yet touched the bedrock.”
Kaimana Wolff, La Chiripa

“To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

“We are all these things [...]. Pride, desire, compassion, cleverness, belligerence, fruitfulness, loyalty...and guilt. But above it all stands love. And if we desire to be more than human, that is the star by which we must set our sights. ”
Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Avatar

“Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.”
John Steinbeck
