Science Fiction Archives ~ Kathryn Rose Newey ~ Author

Books to Save the World

Kathryn Rose Newey writes quirky, interactive Environmental Fiction, Animal Rights Fiction and Science Fiction novels for ages 9-14 and older young-at-heart readers, eco-warriors and universe explorers.

Having lived and worked in both hemispheres of the world, she’s keen to expand minds. So besides the story, each novel also contains educational information, for readers to explore more about the facts her books are based on.

When she’s not writing, she’s probably in her wildlife-friendly, unruly garden (or wishes she was) with her pet dog, Jessie the Jack Russell, who insists on having her own website.
