Before Writing Full-Time

After high school, Kagawa worked in a bookstore but had to leave because she spent more time reading than helping customers. This led her to another passion—dog training, working with everything from Chihuahuas to Labradors. Yet writing remained her true dream.

Breakthrough Success

Her major breakthrough came in 2010 with the publication of The Iron King, the first book in the Iron Fey series, which launched her career as a bestselling fantasy author.
