Kim Headlee

Kim Iverson Headlee lives on a farm in southwestern Virginia with her family, cats, goats, someone else’s cattle, half a million honey bees, and assorted wildlife. People and creatures come and go, but the cave and the 250-year-old house ruins—the latter having been occupied as recently as the midtwentieth century—seem to be sticking around for a while yet. She has been an award-winning novelist since 1999 (Dawnflight first edition, Sonnet Books, Simon & Schuster) and has been a student of Arthurian lore for half a century. In 2016 she became the first author to publish a sequel to any of Mark Twain's novels, and King Arthur's Sister in Washington's Court enjoyed high praise and sales rankings. Now Queen Morgan le Fay—the only major character Twain did not kill off—reprises her majestic glory tempered with hilarious hijinks in King Arthur's Sister: The Once and Future Queen.
