Kathleen McGurl lives in Bournemouth with her husband. She has two sons who have both now left home. She always wanted to write, and for many years was waiting until she had the time. Eventually she came to the bitter realisation that no one would pay her for a year off work to write a book, so she sat down and started to write one anyway. Since then she has published several novels with HQ and self-published another. She has also sold dozens of short stories to women' s magazines, and written three How To books for writers. After a long career in the IT industry she became a full-time writer in 2019. When she' s not writing, she' s often out running, slowly.
