Kat Shepherd loves to create fast-paced adventure stories that are likely to engage reluctant readers because she wholeheartedly believes that reading should be a joyful experience for every child.
A former classroom teacher, Kat has also spent various points in her life working as a deli waitress, a Hollywood script reader, and a dog trainer for film and TV. She lives in Minneapolis with her husband, two dogs, and a rotating series of foster dogs. Babysitting Nightmares is her first middle grade series.

A spectre dark will shade your mind
Icy-fingered wraiths will creep
To where you lie in troubled sleep
So take this tome with our fair warning
Lest you join their ranks by morning.
