My name is Kate. I’m a YA writer who also blogs about writing. I’ve always been a reader, which naturally morphed into being a writer. I can’t remember if I made a conscious choice to be an author, it’s just something I’ve always wanted to do, and another career path never occurred to me.

I was lucky enough to land a job as a beauty writer, so I spent nine years writing articles about hair and makeup for a virtual hairstyling website. After that job ended, I gave myself a few months to finish a YA series I’d been working on, and those few months turned into a few years (writing always takes longer than we expect!).
