Katie Everson wanted to be an acrobat, but that's not what happened. She grew up in Milton Keynes and has lived in London and Sydney but is now back where it all began, the pull of home tugging her full circle. After side-lining acrobatics, she became a bookseller and realized all she wanted to do was make books. When characters began to talk among themselves in her head, she knew it was time to put finger to keyboard and write. Her debut YA novel, Drop, was nominated for the Carnegie Medal. When she's not writing, Katie works as a designer at a leading London publisher.
