Kennedy Kerr is the USA Today bestselling fiction author of the Magpie Cove, Loch Cameron, Mistress of Magic and Tides of Devotion series. She adores beaches, lochs and stone circles, castles and manor houses. She loves writing about small communities, mysteries, myths and magic and family secrets. Kennedy also loves cooking and baking all types of food, which is almost as much fun as eating it. Keen observers will note that Kennedy enjoys writing about food, too: lavish descriptions of delicious cakes are a key part of her fictional worlds, as are female friendship, feminism, women's history, magic, small communities, fashion and, of course, romance. She lives in the UK, is from a Scottish family and grew up in the West Country. She has equal fondness for Cornwall and Scotland, and loves cats, crochet, big romantic gestures and holding hands.
