Kathbell Stumpf

 

Kathbell is a wife, Mum, and writer who started writing stories at a young age. Miss Mary is the first fictional work that she has published. 

​

Kathbell was born in England, moved to New Zealand, and then finally settled in the U.S. with her parents and siblings at the age of 13. As a young child, she was fascinated by books and was an avid reader; with an imagination fed by her travels to places such as New Zealand and touring historic sites, she began writing at a very young age. Growing up, Kathbell had a passion for reading books by C.S. Lewis, J.R. Tolkien, and Anne Rice and dreamed of becoming a writer. After discovering that the origin of the old nursery rhyme was unknown, Kathbell felt inspired to write her own version of the truth and bring life to Miss Mary Mack. The second and final book two of Miss Mary will be coming soon!

​

When Kathbell isn't working on her new women's fiction novel, she is spending time with her family and friends, hiking, working out, reading, baking, or indulging in some of her guilty pleasures.
