About

Katharine Lumley is a Canadian author who grew up in Sandford, Ontario, surrounded by old books and even older antiques. She wrote her earliest stories on a typewriter and dreamed of one day becoming an author. She collected rocks as a child and almost every story she’s written has contained a magic stone. 

As a teen, Katharine worked at the local library, and she carried her appreciation for books into her university career, achieving a Bachelor with Honors in English Language and Literature and a Master of Library and Information Science. Since then, she’s moved cross-country three times and has become an expert  at packing boxes of books. 

Katharine is a stay-at-home mom who begins and ends each day reading picture books and has surprisingly lost her voice only once. When she’s not furiously scribbling in a notebook, you can find her cross stitching, browsing yard sales for treasures, or at her local library. She currently lives in Vermont with her family. 

THE WEIGHT OF A BLADE is her debut novel inspired by Tarot, god pantheons, and that one line from The Mummy where Evie says, “He’s mortal.”
