Biography[]
Catriona Ward was born in Washington, D.C. Her family moved a lot and she grew up all over the world, including in the United States, Kenya, Madagascar, Yemen and Morocco. Dartmoor was the one place the family returned to on a regular basis. Ward read English at St Edmund Hall, Oxford. Ward initially worked as an actor based in New York. When she returned to London she worked on her first novel while writing for a human rights foundation until she left to take an MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia. That novel, Rawblood (published in the United States as The Girl from Rawblood), was published in 2015. Now she writes novels and short stories, and reviews for various publications.[1] Ward won the August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel in 2016 at the British Fantasy Awards for Rawblood and again in 2018 for Little Eve, making her the first woman to win the prize twice.[2] Little Eve also went on to win the prestigious Shirley Jackson Award for best novel.[3] Her next gothic thriller, The Last House on Needless Street, will be published through Viper Books (an imprint of Serpent's Tail) in March 2021, and Tor Nightfire (Tor Books) in the US, in September.[4] The book will be made into a movie executive-produced by Ward, and produced by The Imaginarium's Andy Serkis and Jonathan Cavendish.[5] Ward lives in London and Devon.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
