Katharine and Elizabeth Corr are sisters originally from Essex, England, now living in Surrey. When they both decided to write novels—on account of fictional people being much easier to deal with than real ones—it was obvious they should do it together. They can sometimes be found in one of their local coffee shops, arguing over which character to kill off next. Katharine and Elizabeth are authors of the enthralling A Throne of Swans duology and the spellbinding trilogy The Witch’s Kiss.
