Author Interview Catherine Doyle & Katherine Webber
CATHERINE DOYLE LEFT AND KATHERINE WEBBER’S BOOK HAS SOLD IN 13 TERRITORIES
Catherine Doyle and Katherine Webber have teamed up for a fantastical tale with a romantic twist
Charlotte Eyre @charlotteleyre 48 18th February 2022 ‘‘‘‘ T
here are fantasies that are very serious, and I love that, but there is not a load of humour in fantasy right now.” Katherine Webber is talking, via Zoom, about the inspiration behind the upcoming YA novel Twin Crowns, with her co-author Catherine Doyle by her side and new baby daughter bouncing on her knee. “I had the initial idea in 2020, when I was thinking about the kind of books I love to read. Cat and I both love romances and rom-coms and Cat’s the funniest person I know, so I thought we should write something together.” Twin Crowns certainly delivers on the fun and romance as well as the fantasy: it is one of the most joyous YA reading experiences I, someone who doesn’t “get” fantasy a lot of the time, have had. The story is about twin girls Wren and Rose, who were separated soon aſter birth. One (Rose Valhart) is a princess confined to palace walls, awaiting her coronation and her marriage to the son of a nearby kingdom. The other (Wren Greenrock) grew up with witches in a faraway forest and has now returned to avenge her parents’ murder and usurp the princess.
