Born in Austin, Texas, Katherine Arden has always had a taste for
wandering. She spent her junior year of high school in Rennes,
France.
Following her acceptance to Middlebury College in Vermont, she
deferred enrolment for a year in order to live and study in Russia.
At Middlebury, she specialized in French and Russian literature,
and her studies included sojourns at the Sorbonne in Paris and the
Russian State University for the Humanities in Moscow.
After receiving her BA, she moved to Maui, Hawaii and worked every
kind of odd job imaginable, from grant writing and guiding horse
tours to serving as a personal tour guide. During this time she
wrote what became her debut novel, The Bear and the Nightingale.
After a year on the island, she moved to Brian on, France, and
spent nine months teaching. She then returned to Maui, where she
began writing The Girl in the Tower, the sequel to her debut, and
officially launched her career as an author. Currently she lives in
Vermont.
She is the author of the Winternight Trilogy for adults and the
Small Spaces Quartet for children. The Warm Hands of Ghosts is her
eighth novel.
