K. Madill lives in a rickety house on a well-treed street in British Columbia. When she is not reading or writing, she can be found spying on the local woodland animals or hanging out with her best equine friend, Brumby. Her hobbies include not cooking, trying to stay upright on her roller skates and mediating the various affairs of her furry and feathered family members who rule the aforementioned rickety house.
