Besides the Deryni, Camber, King Kelson, and Heirs of Saint Camber Trilogies, (and a collection of short stories set in the Deryni universe, plus a book on Deryni magic), she has written a juvenile science fiction novel, Legacy of Lehr; a World War II thriller, Lammas Night, dealing with magic worked in the summer of 1940 to keep Hitler from invading England; and an alternate history of the American War for Independence called Two Crowns for America. A new Deryni novel is in progress (King Kelson's Bride), with at least two more trilogies projected for the future. Partnered with Deborah Turner Harris, she has written five books in her Adept series of occult detective thrillers set in modern Scotland; their next team endeavor will focus on the Knights Templar. Her first editing foray, Tales of the Knights Templar (Warner Books, 1995), contains a solo Adam Sinclair story, in addition to an extensive history of the Templars interwoven in the introduction and connecting narrative. A second volume is in progress, following on the success of the first. Ms Kurtz lives in a gothic revival house in County Wicklow, Ireland with author and screenwriter Scott MacMillan (her husband), four cats, and at least two resident ghosts -- the latter of whom seem to approve of the restoration work being done to "heir" house by the MacMillans.

Katherine
Kurtz was born in Coral Gables, Florida during a hurricane,
and likes to think this was an auspicious introduction to
the world. She read honors humanities at the University of
Miami, from which she received a B.S. in chemistry, and
attended medical school for a year before deciding she would
rather write about medicine than practice it. She completed
an M.A. in medieval English history at UCLA while writing
her first two novels and working as an instructional
designer for the Los Angeles Police Academy, and continued
her police work for the next ten years. She is also a
professionally trained hypnotist, a student of comparative
religion, a passable authority on heraldry and chivalry (she
belongs to several modern-day orders of chivalry), a
virtuoso at counted cross-stitch (in her copious free time),
and an avowed cat person.

Bauman may very well be the leading artist in the cross-over
genres of horror, dark fantasy, and mystery. Dubbed the
"Queen of the Poisonous Palette" by The Fiction Writer , she
has done book covers and interior illustrations for
practically every major publisher from Ace to St. Martin's
Press, from Tor to Doubleday to Easton Press.
