Kate Innes was born in London and raised in America, returning to the UK in the 1980's to study Archaeology. She taught in Africa before completing an MA and working as a Museum Education Officer around the West Midlands. She and her family now live at the foot of Wenlock Edge, where the surrounding historical landscape inspires much of her writing. Her first novel, 'The Errant Hours', was a Historical Novel Society Editor's Choice and became Book One in 'The Arrowsmith Trilogy'. It was followed by 'All the Winding World' in 2018, and the final instalment - 'Wild Labyrinth' in 2021. Her first children's book is a WW2 historical fantasy, 'Greencoats', set in Birmingham and Shropshire. Kate's poetry collection, 'Flocks of Words', was shortlisted for The Rubery Book Award. She enjoys running creative writing courses and collaborating with other artists.
