ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kathryn Cowling and is 52 years old. Fairly Jane is her third book to be published. Her first two books were published by a company called Novum.  This company didn’t charge her to publish the books, but she feels it was a mistake on her part to use them. They priced the books at £16.99 which is far too expensive for and unknown author, and they did not proofread them or advertise them, so no one actually knows they’re out there. They are called Some Day Soon…. and When will the War be over?
Kathryn’s main interest is writing books set in WW2.  Both her first two novels are set in this period as well as her fourth book that is yet to be published. Fairly Jane is, however, set in the 1950s and 1960s.  
Kathryn lives in Cornwall and has done all her life. Once her two children flew the nest she began to write books and would love to her living as an author. Her books are set in both Bristol and Cornwall. She runs a business carrying out Energy Performance Certificates at the moment but would love to write full time.
Kathryn is hoping that Publishing Push will ensure that the public knows her book exists. She has spent months trying to make her books known to the public but constantly comes up against a brick wall. She wonders how successful authors actually get themselves recognised and established in the industry.
Fairly Jane tells the story of a girl that was born in WW2 to parents married to other people. She is subsequently adopted, and when she does find out about her true identity at the age of sixteen years old she is so shocked.
