Kate O'Hearn

Today we had a visit from Kate O’Hearn, the children’s author.  Kate has written the ‘Shadow of the Dragon’ series and the ‘Pegasus’ series and was talking to Year 8 about her new series ‘Valkyrie’.  Set in the times of the Norse legends these books tell the story of Freya - a Valkyrie - an angel of death and collector of souls from humanity's battlefields. But Freya is unlike any other Valkyrie. She doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of the legends before her. 

As you can see from the photos, Kate was dressed flamboyantly as a Steam Goth and was accompanied by the Dark Searcher, an extremely scary Norse warrior clad in black and wielding a very large sword.
