Kathleen Baldwin’s Current Bio
“Master of the unexpected,” Kathleen Baldwin is a Wall Street Journal, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon bestselling author. She’s known for weaving stories with luminous threads of intrigue, humor, love and light. Her books have delighted readers around the globe—with more than 650,000 copies sold worldwide. A Japanese publisher even made one of her books into a manga, and the Stranje House series is under option for film.
#1 USA Today bestselling author Meg Cabot raves that Kathleen’s A SCHOOL FOR UNUSUAL GIRLS is “completely original and totally engrossing.” And The New York Times Book Review called it “enticing from the first sentence.”
Kathleen’s love of adventure isn’t limited to her writing. She taught rock climbing in the Rockies, survival camped in the desert and in the snow, slept beside a mountain lion, and lost an argument with a rattlesnake. Eventually, her very own hero captured her heart, married her, and they raised four wildly adventurous children.
