Katharine J. Adams

Katharine J. Adams is a Sir Julius Vogel Award finalist, a New Zealand Book Award finalist, and the Aotearoa-bestselling author of The Witches of Halstett trilogy—Tonight, I Burn; Tonight, I Bleed; and Tonight, I Blaze from Orbit US, Orbit UK, Hachette Australia, and Moa Press NZ, with translated editions from Bragelonne France, Hidra Spain, AST Russia, and Armchair Israel.

She spends her days writing, playing taxi to her children, and making space for just one more book on her overflowing shelves. She’s passionate about positive LGBTQ+ representation in literature and genuinely thought everyone secretly liked all genders for an embarrassingly long time. If she’s not out mountain biking with her family along the glorious Kapiti Coast in Aotearoa, she’s often found hiding in the garden where she accidentally kills more plants than she does characters in her stories.
