Katherine Hetzel has always loved the written word, but only started writing “properly” after giving up her job as a pharmaceutical microbiologist to be a stay-at-home mum. The silly songs and daft poems she wrote for her children grew into longer stories. They ended up on paper and then published. (Granny Rainbow, Panda Eyes, 2014) She sees herself first and foremost as a children’s author, passionate about getting kids reading, but she also enjoys writing short stories for adults and has been published in several anthologies. A member of the on-line writing community The Word Cloud, Katherine operates under the name of Squidge and blogs at Squidge’s Scribbles. She lives in the heart of the UK with Mr Squidge and two teenaged children.Website: http://squidgesscribbles.blogspot.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/katherine.hetzel.7
