Kate grew up in a woodsy New England town where summer days at the lake seemed to last forever. She read her first historical romance at age eleven when a teacher challenged her to find a book in the library written by an author she’d never heard of. Thus began a life-long love of love stories.

​

After graduating from college with an art degree she settled in the Pacific Northwest, where she currently resides with her family. 

​

Kate wrote her first romance when she was sixteen, then set her pen down for years until another story floated into her head out of the clear blue sky. She jotted it down, just for fun, but soon it took on a life of its own.

​

When not writing, spare time is devoted to reading novels, taking a stroll or baking family recipes like banana bread and apple cake.
