She now lives in Toronto and is a young adult author, a mother of two small children, and very, very tired. Her first novel.

Kate’s Quotes

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
