Kim M. Watt is a New Zealand-born cozy fantasy and mystery author best known for her Beaufort Scales series, set in the Yorkshire Dales. It follows the ladies of the Toot Hansell Women's Institute as they tackle crime-solving and jam-making with equal determination – and the help of dragons. Her Gobbelino London PI series features a feline PI navigating the hidden, magical corners of Leeds with the assistance of his human(ish) sidekick, while her DI Adams series follows the travails of a very grounded London detective who finds herself dealing with both magic and the Yorkshire countryside, neither of which she appreciates very much. Watt has built a passionate readership drawn to her distinctive mix of warmth, wit, and the quietly extraordinary. Through her Circle community, she connects directly with readers through free and paid membership tiers that bring fans closer to her writing life and the worlds she creates.
