About The Author | Kim Kane was born in London in a bed bequeathed by Wordsworth for '. . . a writer, a dancer or a poet'. Despite this auspicious beginning, she went on to practise law.In 2004, Kim threw her unbridled materialism to the wind and started to write. Kim now works exactly part-time as a lawyer and exactly part-time as a writer and the combination is perfect.Kim has noticed that most proper children's writers like chickens. Kim hates chickens. She does, however, like being backstage, her nephew, Angus, and, if she is strictly honest, most fatty snacks. Above all of these (except perhaps Angus), Kim likes telling stories, and on a good writing day she wouldn't trade her life for anything. |
Kane's first novel is original, intelligent and unexpected from the very first line |
|
Other text | Highly original story about finding the strength to be yourself. The story is at times heartbreaking, but it is told with a warmth and humour that are refreshing and at the same time surprising |
