Kathy Page is the author of six novels, including The Story of My Face, which was short listed for the Orange Prize in 2002, and Alphabet, which was nominated for a Governor General's Literary Award for fiction in 2005.

Complex characters and compelling narrative are Page's trademarks, as is suspense, both psychological and existential. 'One of the most compelling, unsettling novels I've read in ages,' Sara Waters wrote in the Independent On Sunday, choosing The Story of My Face as one of her Books of the Year, 'which should appeal to fans of classy thrillers and literary fiction alike.'

Alphabet has been described as 'Dark, disturbing and delicious' (January Magazine) and Guardian columnist Erwin James called it: '...a wonderful book, peculiar, intense, revealing, challenging, exhausting - and above all, riveting.'

Page has also written short fiction and script for radio and TV. She was born in the UK and is an accomplished workshop leader who has taught writing in universities and other institutions in the UK, Finland, Estonia - and now in Canada, where she has lived with her husband and two children since 2001.
