About K.T. Davies

KT Davies accidentally became a professional actor, was in a Troma movie, and performed in an award-winning play at the Edinburgh Festival. KT has also worked as a drama teacher, a scaffolder, and a server in numerous restaurants because, much like Mandalorians, this is the way for actors. At some point our hero skidded sideways into theatrical prop making, (including work for Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre) before falling into the dread, Pit of Writing, which it turns out, isn’t actually that dreadful.

In 2015 KT’s novel ‘Breed’ was shortlisted for the British Fantasy Society, Robert Holdstock Award for Best Fantasy Novel. She’s also been guest editor of the British Fantasy Society Focus Magazine and has contributed to several anthologies including Legends 3: Stories in Honour of David Gemmell in 2019, and in 2020 ‘The Tales of Catt and Fisher: The Art of the Steal’ published by Rebellion.

Her Internationally bestselling series, ‘The Chronicles of Breed’ features the gender unspecified half-human, half-lizard, thief assassin Breed Blake.

KT lives just up the road from where Tolkien lived during his time in the army, AKA Stafford UK. She has two delightful children, a wonderful husband, and 3 brilliant dogs*.

When not wrangling words, kids, and dogs, KT, a long-time historical re-enactor and amateur martial artist, plays with not so sharp, not so pointy, ye olde weapons, sometimes on foot and sometimes on horseback. As an ex-professional prop maker, KT also likes to make monsters and wear their skins (okay, it’s cosplay, KT also likes to cosplay). All the above are super useful skills when it comes to writing fantasy. Not only does KT  know what it feels like to wear plate armour for six hours straight, she also knows what it’s like to get authentically stabbed, burned, blown up, and steamrollered by a unit of pikemen and yes, she has the scars to prove it.
