About Kathryn Fitzmaurice

Kathryn Fitzmaurice

Kathryn Fitzmaurice

Location: Monarch Beach, California

When Kathryn was thirteen years old, she spent the summer with her grandmother in New York City, who was a science fiction writer. After seeing how her grandmother could make her characters into whomever she wanted, Kathryn decided she wanted to become a writer someday, too. After teaching elementary school in California, she now writes full time, and lives in Monarch Beach, California, with her husband, two sons, and her dog, Holly. She belongs to the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, and has won various awards at several conferences for her unpublished works. As a past teacher, one of Kathryn’s favorite things to do is to visit schools and libraries. She has experience in managing and presenting to large groups of adults and students, as well as small groups under thirty, and can tailor any presentation to meet the needs of specific individual groups as well. THE YEAR THE SWALLOWS CAME EARLY is her first novel. She is busy writing her second.
