Katherine Woodbury reveres Jane Austen, ＂Columbo,＂ classic fairy tales, and cats. The author of twenty-five published short stories and seven novellas, Katherine (Kate) has spent her writing career tackling mermaids, bemused cops, Greek heroes, Joan of Arc, a devil’s assistant, aliens with wings, and a not-quite-dead Viking funeral bride. Now she’s turned her writing hand to a mystery series with a no-nonsense detective and paranormal elements. All good mysteries are grounded in social behavior. Kate began her apprenticeship of human idiosyncrasies with tributes to eighteenth and nineteenth century classics: ＂A Man of Few Words＂ (based on ＂Pride & Prejudice＂), ＂Persuadable＂ (＂Persuasion＂), and ＂Mr. B Speaks!＂ (Samuel Richardson’s ＂Pamela＂). Next came the Victorian fantasy series, The Roesia Chronicles, so far including ＂Aubrey: Remnants of Transformation,＂ ＂Richard: The Ethics of Affection,＂ ＂Lord Simon: The Dispossession of Hannah,＂ and her most recent publication, ＂Tales of the Quest.＂ As well as a writer (and reader) of fantasy, history, mystery, and romance, Kate (Katherine) enjoys watching classic sitcoms, collecting manga, and her day-job: teaching humanities courses at Maine community colleges.
