Originally from the Home Counties, Kate now resides in the diverse and inspirational county of Cornwall, which provides a glorious backdrop for much of her writing. Her career has encompassed travel, property and publishing, and she has travelled widely. Together with her supportive husband, a gorgeous Arab horse and a 'rehomed' half-Bengal cat called Bella, Kate lives in the beautiful Tamar Valley in a 200-year-old cottage that she and her husband painstakingly restored and which proved the inspiration for her international best-selling timeslip, Secrets of the Mist.
