In high school she entertained her homeroom reading out chapters of her first novel 'Miranda' about a teenage girls adventures with her horse Rusty.
After school Kate studied Children's Literature, and her first drafts of Twell were awarded in writing competitions. Kate's writing interest is firmly embedded in dystopian fantasy, being continually fascinated with future direction of our world and the concepts of free will and moral vs. lawful obligations. Twell's adventures will continue to explore these ideas in the Como Chronicles Trilogy.
Kate lives in the beautiful Adelaide Hills of Australia, surrounded by rolling hills and wineries and horses, as well as some good rocks to climb when she feels like scaring herself!

Art (in no particular order) I have been lucky enough to see each of these paintings or
sculptures in real life from traveling. What a blessing!

2-Leonardo Da Vinci-The Last Supper (for the tense and sinister feel)
3-Hans Heyson-Droving into the light (for the way it captures Australian landscape)
4-Tom Robert –Shearing the Rams (for the way it captures Australian early pioneering era.)
5-Pro Hart-Chop Picnic at the park (for the way he captures the heat and drought side of
Australian Landscape)
6-Lord Frederic Leighton-Flaming June (for beauty)
7-The Medici Fountain in the Jardin des Tuileries (the most romantic beautiful stone
sculpture capturing the forbidden love of Galatea and Acis found out by Polyphemus.
8-Michelangelo-his works in the Sistine Chapel (the hours of his life to create this, lying on
his back up against the roof with only candles for light...incredible)
9- Michelangelo’s David Sculpture. (A fine specimen and example of a man from that time!)

who she really was!)
