Kathleen spent most of her teen years crushing on authors and writing really bad short stories about vampires (this isn't false modesty-the stories were pretty awful). She put her writing dreams on hold while attending college, but tripped over them when office life started leaving her with an aversion to blazers and an allergy to cubicles. HEMLOCK is her first novel and the start of a series following Mackenzie Dobson, a girl living in a world under threat from a virus that turns people into werewolves.
