Green Jasper

K. M. Grant was the third of seven children, and she grew up in the wild countryside of Scotland. When she was younger, she learned that her ancestor, Frances Townley, was executed in 1746 for his faith and his severed head was shipped around the country as an example to others. Her family kept a lock of his hair framed in the sitting room to remember him by. That family lore fueled Grant's imagination, and later, a wild red horse named Muffet inspired her to write about Hosanna. She lives in Glascow, Scotland, with her husband and children where she works as a journalist and a broadcaster. Blood Red Horsewas K. M. Grant's first novel. The thrilling conclusion to the de Granville trilogy,Blaze of Silver,will be published next spring.Grant, K. M. is the author of 'Green Jasper ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780802796271 and ISBN 0802796273.
