Long before she was an author C. K. was a fan of books about Winnie the Pooh, Babar, Madeline, Anne Shirley and anything by Judy Blume. Throughout high school her favourite class was English. No surprise, then, that most of her time spent at York University in Toronto was as an English major--not the traditional way to graduate with a B.A. in Film Studies but a fine way to get a general arts education.
After getting her film studies degree C. K. headed for Dublin, Ireland and spent the majority of the nineties there in forgettable jobs meeting unforgettable people and enjoying the buzz. She began writing her first novel in a flat in Dublin and finished it in a Toronto suburb.
C. K.'s first young adult book, I Know It's Over, came out with Random House in September 2008 and was followed by nine others. Her middle grade will debut will be published by Cormorant's Dancing Cat Book imprint in fall 2017.
