About the Author

Kate has been a lover of Jane Austen and her contemporaries since she picked up Pride and Prejudice at thirteen years old. Always intending to write, life got in the way, but after a bit of a slow start, a Master's degree in English literature and three children later, she published her first novel at age fifty. Kate lives on the Gold Coast of Australia and loves hiking and walking, playing piano, and rewatching every Jane Austen movie ever made, tissues at hand!
