Katja Hemkentokrax has been writing imaginative stories for young readers since the age of nine. After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Studies, she completed a Master’s in Integrated Media and subsequently worked at a publishing house in Hamburg. Her second children’s book, Felina Fingerhut and the Perplexing Butterfly Effect, was recently published by Baumhaus Verlag. Her next project, Odelia Opal and the Cabinet of Sold Feelings, is supported by the Children’s and Young Adult Book Grant of the State of Lower Saxony and, like many of her works, combines playful wordcraft with quirky characters and unusual friendships. Under the pseudonym Katie Kento, the author also writes suspense titles for readers aged 14 and up.
