When K. Bannerman was a little girl, her uncle pulled her aside and told her, sotto voce, that she would grow up to be a werewolf. He claimed that it was a family trait which could not be cured or ignored -- she'd just have to live with it. At first, she was terrified, but soon became very excited by the whole idea, and when she grew up, she decided to write about a family of werewolves living on the British Columbian coast. Her novels, The Tattooed Wolf and The Wolf of Gilsbury Cross, were the result. Her uncle's long-ago comment sparked a writing career that has spanned three continents, a handful of languages, and garnered a Hugo nomination in 2006, which once again goes to show, one ought to be careful when speaking to impressionable children.

"Bannerman offers a clear insight into the mind of a tyrannical sociopath." - Scott Sandridge, Tangent Short Fiction Review

"The author displays unusual and sometimes uncomfortable characters, and I care about them all, the significant players and the extras. If you like reading stories about intriguing people, [The Tattooed Wolf] doesn't disappoint." - Joe Murphy, The Dragon Page Radio Talk Show

"[Kim Bannerman] has a knack for pulling you further and further into the book." - Lea Schizas, editor-in-chief, Apollo’s Lyre
