Kate Birkin is hailed as one of the top new authors, reaching international acclaim. Her two #1 bestsellers, The Consequence of Anna, and Ava and Shalom, have entertained millions of readers around the world. With degrees in English Literature and History, she is also a ghostwriter of a dozen other novels and two original screenplays.
Kate once dreamed of being a ballerina until she fell in love with writing. She lives in a refurbished Victorian home overlooking the sea, where vintage oil painting portraits adorn the walls and their eyes seemingly follow you, stairs creak and doors mysteriously open by themselves, a fire is always crackling in her stone fireplace, and her two Siamese cats, Matilda and Carmichael, sit by her side while she writes.
As a lover of the arts, Kate also enjoys playing her violin and attending the opera and ballet. But her passion for words is what drives her. She loves visiting places of creative inspiration for her, like the Land of Éire (Ireland), the Isles of Scotland, and the ancient ruins of Europe. Often she can be found researching her next book in historic libraries and museums.
"When I was a child, I knew books were pure magic. Portals into another realm where the book cover itself is the enchanted key to enter. To be able to time travel and experience life through someone else's eyes is something I have always cherished. And now, as I create these stories and characters myself, I fall in love with them. It's not just the reader who embarks on a journey as they begin one of my novels. Like Bastian in The Neverending Story, I too venture on that same journey when I write, loving every minute of it!"
