Katy Moran – Writer and Author

Hello and welcome to my website


So exciting – a cover image for my next book!

My next book will hit the shops in early 2013 – but Katie the designer has already created an intriguing and arresting book jacket for Hidden Among Us. I’m thrilled with it. I’ll post more details about this soon!

My most recent book, Dangerous to Know, is a modern day love story for the festival going generation. Think Romeo and Juliet at Glastonbury…

My other books

My first book, Bloodline, was published in March 2008 – it’s a spy story with a hint of magic, set over a thousand years ago in the mysterious Dark Ages. It was published in the USA in March 2009, which is really exciting.

Buy Spirit Hunter by Katy Moran

The sequel, Bloodline Rising, is now in the shops. It is a tale of cunning young criminals, notorious thieves and a ruthless barbarian assassin set in

Constantinople in the Dark Ages. It recently hit US bookshelves and has been getting some really nice reviews over there – I’ll be adding these to the Reviews section on here as and when I get the chance!

My third book, Spirit Hunter, is a tale of forbidden love set along the dangerous and ancient Silk Road, and was nominated for the Carnegie Medal in 2011.
