About Kitty Neale

Kitty Neale is a British author that writes thrilling dramatic novels that explore friendships, family life and the hardships that plague normal life. Kitty’s stories are inspired by her own personal experiences and the tragedies she has encountered in her life. Electronic forms of entertainment were not quite as widespread back then, so Kitty and her friends had to find ways of keeping one another busy on the streets of Lavender Hill. Even as a child, Kitty had an incredible imagination. She was always telling her friends and family stories some of which were quite horrific; though, to her family, they were more of a source of amusement than a cause for concern. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Standalone Novels series, Kitty Neale has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
