MY OTHER BOOKS
Before I was fortunate enough to be picked up by Fremantle Press, I self-published a number of books under the name Katie W. Stewart. I'm still proud of them, so please do check them out. They're available from Amazon and other online bookshops.

What happens when you combine a love of art, animals and history with a sense of humour? You get a book that is delightfully different. Famous Animals is an alternative history, an artistic peek at the world of such remarkable animals as Felix Mendelswann, Joan Aardvark and Luciano Pavaratti. At the same time, it takes a biographical look at some equally noteworthy humans. A book that will appeal to young and old alike.
Available in print only from online bookstores. Can be ordered at your local bookshop. ISBN 0994350503 |
A Treespeaker is one with his forest, moving with its spirit, inseparably bound to it.
Terrifying visions warn Jakan that a visitor to his tribe is not who he claims to be. As the villagers fall under the spell of the stranger’s mind-bending sorcery, Jakan grows desperate to be rid of him. Events take a sinister turn when he accuses the stranger of sacrilege — and it is Jakan, not the outsider, who is expelled from the forest.
Join Jakan on his perilous journey across a blighted land as he searches for the secret that will save his people — and himself.
Treespeaker is available as both an ebook and a print book. Click on the image above for a link to Amazon.
