Kathy is a multilingual journalist and has been reporting on news, entertainment and environmental stories for over a decade. She’ s freelanced for British and international organisations, including Reuters, BBC and ITN. An avid reader since she was a child, Kathy grew up admiring the works of great storytellers and the imaginary worlds they created. But it was listening to the stories her dad would tell her as a child that prompted Kathy to make up stories for her own children. Born in London, Siski has lived in various countries and currently resides in Chile with her family of humans and dogs. Painting watercolours gives her the same joy as swimming, eating scones with jam or swinging in a hammock. She is largely self-taught, having taken a handful of watercolour and illustration courses over the years. More than anything, Siski loves children's books. She would eat them if she could. But they don’ t taste as good as scones.
