Kate first developed her love of reading back in the days when TV's were an expensive luxury & books were her only way to get lost in adventure and fantasy. Even from an early age, she wanted to let her own imagination have a free rein & write something that was more than an English homework assignment - she wanted to become a published author. Her first book, Shadows of Darkness began life over 30 years ago & the manuscript has had almost as much of an epic adventure as the characters within it. Initially saved on a floppy disc in the days when that was how you saved the important stuff, it was eventually dusted off & transferred to a pc but was then lost, seemingly forever, when a relationship turned very sour. But the gods of writing had other plans &, by a miracle of memory, a copy was discovered in an old email folder along with the full story plan. It was a few thousand words short of what had been lost but most of it was saved - this book was clearly meant to be written! However, as happens, life, children & the need as a single mum to work full time & provide for her two children meant that any plans of authorship had to go on the back burner for many years. Finally, life took a dramatic turn for the better & Kate was able to ditch the 9-5 slog and think about picking up her manuscript again. What was initially going to be one book has now morphed into a series of eight - brevity in the written word was never Kate's strongest point & an overly active imagination doesn’t help either! Kate writes from the heart, from life experience & with the aim of teaching her readers, through the medium of fantasy, the lessons in life she wishes she could have taught her own children. After all, the subconscious works in stories & what better way to teach than through books & a desire to read. A Yorkshire girl at heart, Kate now live in the flat lands of rural South Lincolnshire in the UK with her long-suffering partner & three naughty cats, Olaf, Sheldon, and Chanty.
