Kate is the author of HOW WE FALL, a YA contemporary suspense coming this fall from Merit Press at F&W Books. She writes contemporary and speculative suspense, both YA and adult, and she is represented by Carlie Webber at CK Webber Associates.

Kate spent her childhood in rural Missouri raising purebred Siberian huskies, running on gravel roads, and navigating life in a big family. Now living in Iowa, she is married to a videographer from the Dominican Republic, and still owns a husky. She’s an editor with Month9Books, and a compulsive traveler, cake-baker, and music lover. She loves bright colors, fall leaves, unusual people, and all kinds of music. Kate has written novels since she was a teen, but it wasn’t until she studied literature in college that she fell in love with the soul of young adult books. Kate now works in publishing and pursues her lifelong dream of telling stories she’d want to read.
