Katherine Rundell, who will be coming to Southern California, takes the Book Pages Q&A to share a secret about the writing of ‘Impossible Creatures.’
Katherine Rundell is the author of “Impossible Creatures.” Thankfully, the book, about two young people facing a murderous threat, a mysterious landscape and a host of magical creatures, is in stores now. .
