Katie Kirby is a writer and illustrator who lives by the sea in Hove with her husband, two sons, and dog Sasha. After spending several years working in London media agencies, she had some children and decided to start a blog called "Hurrah for Gin," which soon became a bestselling book. The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks was her first novel for kids, and there are currently five books in the series. Like Lottie, Katie loves talking nonsense and often embarasses herself in public.
