There were many days when reaching ‘the end’ felt like an impossible mountain to climb. Thanks to all of you who gave me the encouragement to keep going - you made the difference.
Seahouses is a real village in Northumberland, and I was lucky to spend many weekends there as a child. However, I used some artistic license in my descriptions of the village in this book, which I hope you will forgive me for. It is a beautiful part of the world, with kind and friendly people, and I urge you to visit. Have a pint and stay overnight in The Olde Ship Inn, when you do.
The idea for Salt Sisters came following a conversation one night with my friend Richard Forster and his wife Beckee. Over dinner in Singapore, we started discussing the moral (and lifestyle) implications of ‘inheriting’ custody of children after the death of a sibling - one of those crazy ‘what if’ conversations, and it got me thinking. It is not based on real-life experience - neither mine, nor that of anybody I know. It is a work of fiction.
Will there be a follow-up to Salt Sisters? I hope so.

About the Author
Katherine Graham
I’m never not reading. Growing up, we had a rule in our house that my mother frequently had to enforce: no books at the dinner table. What can I say – stories are simply delicious.
I built a career as a professional storyteller without even realising it. I started out as a trainee journalist and ended up in communications and PR. I’ve spent 15 years helping some of the world’s biggest brands craft their narratives and find the right words to tell them. Stories are, and have always been, what I do.
But it took a while for me to find the confidence, time and commitment to write a story of my own. I began writing fiction back in 2008, maybe even earlier. My debut novel Salt Sisters was eventually published in 2021. That’s a long draft.
I’m originally from the North East of England and today I live in Taipei with my partner. I love 90s RnB, Cadbury’s chocolate buttons, spin classes and bubble baths.
