I was born in the north of England, and moved home more then a dozen times as a child. As a little girl, I loved to read - and, pretty soon, realized that I loved to write too. My first 'novel' was a mystery set in Paris, written when I was 12...Despite that early experiment with fiction, my careers teacher told me I'd ever make a living inventing stories, so I trained as a journalist and worked for the BBC in news and later on current affairs shows, children's TV and undercover investigations.Now I write for fiction and non-fiction for adults and for teenagers. My novels for adults include The Boot Camp and The Secret Shopper's Revenge. I write about the kind of problems that my friends discuss endlessly: work, relationships, weight, kids, parents and how to be happy. Life seems full of comedy and tragedy to me, so that's what my books are about.My young adult novels are creepier and more chilling, with a murder mystery at their core. They're the kind of books I'd have loved to read when I was a teenager - and in fact, I love reading YA novels now, too.The Soul Beach trilogy is set on a mysterious website where the glamorous inhabitants are all young, beautiful - and dead.You can go there yourself - if you dare... www.soulbeach.orgMy latest project has been life-changing for me, and might be for you too! I've written a book about the diet that is transforming my health and body. After decades of failing to lose weight permanently, The 5:2 Diet Book explores the easiest, most flexible weight loss program I've ever found - with tips from thirty other dieters who've been on the journey with me...Meanwhile, I am busy working on my next two novels. I love to write - find out more and get in touch at kate-harrison.com

This was a great, fun read.As a bootcamping bookworm I was really interested in reading this one, to see how it compared with my own experiences. The bootcamp I attend isn't a week-long retreat like in this book, it's a four-evening a week kind of thing which fits in around my work.I loved some of t...

This was a very satisfying, easy to read chick-lit.The story flowed very well and the characters were passionate and relatable.Secret Shopping was a fun thing to about and I'm sure I'll now inspect and judge shops (and the staff) differently from now on.The best part of this book was the end, even i...

I loved the beginning of the book, it started of nice. But later on it got quite boring and I skipped some parts of the book just because I couldn't find it holding my interest.A shame that if I want to know how it continues with her sister (will she be saved/her case be solved?) I need to read book...

I love the concept of Soul Beach, the idea of some kind of virtual world where your soul goes after you die isn't one I haven't come across before and although it's creepy it is also fascinating. The beach is portrayed as perfect but for the "Guests" they soon start to get bored of doing the same t...
