Kathryn Player was a teacher for ten years before she decided to have a career break and become a stay-at-home Mum. At the same time, she launched her debut novel, 'Moody not Broody', which was written three years earlier. 'Moody not Broody' is based on her teaching antics (experiences) over the past ten years. Kathryn's second book 'Shop Gossip' is about two sisters who work in a charity shop and is based on real life stories. Follow Kathryn's funny stories on THOUGHTS OF A CURLY-HAIRED ESSEX BIRD.
