She signed with her agent after taking part in the brilliant WoMentoring Project. Her first novel, Nevertell, was published to critical-acclaim and was an instant bestseller. Glassheart is her second book. She currently lives in Bristol.
Glassheart shimmers with magic and adventure ... A story that left a sparkling splinter in my soul. -- Damaris Young Shatteringly good. Katharine Orton writes about history as someone who understands it, and about magic as though she could probably do it. -- Nick Tomlinson A masterfully written story surging with powerful energy, as brilliant as the finest stained glass. Nona is a heroine you'll never forget. -- Sinead O'Hart Rich and atmospheric, Glassheart feels like a long-lost folktale brimming with ghostly magic. -- Jennifer Bell Featured in The Bookseller's November Previews. -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *
