Kate is presently drafting a second standalone novel and juggles that with writing short stories for People's Friend magazine, where she's now had five accepted and is looking forward to seeing them in print during 2024.
She writes at a desk covered in to-do lists and lights candles in the hope the lists disappear in the shadows.
She lives in East Anglia in the UK with her husband where they attempt to look after farmland for generations to come.
A small, very small, dog can be frequently found on Kate's lap. Otis is her first miniature dachshund.
