Kate Gordon-Smith has published books under the pen names Kate Gordon and Kate B. Gordon.

Kate spent ninety percent of her childhood reading books about ponies. The other ten she spent galloping around the garden with her family's pet Beagle.

Now she’s penning fantasy adventure and fun mystery stories about brave friends, ponies and unicorns, and much-loved family dogs.

Kate is inspired by the wonderful community and magnificent mountains of Central Otago in New Zealand’s South Island where she lives with her husband, their red and white collie Kenzie and rescue dog Snow, a retired racehorse called Tony, and a fluffy, demanding cat named Bob.

Write what makes you happy. There is SO much advise about how to write, what to write, how to publish, etc, that it gets overwhelming. Don't worry about all that at the start. Just write for the joy of creating a story. Use that joy to carry you through the hard slog of finishing the first draft of a novel. Then you can learn more about craft as you polish and edit.(less)

It features the second of the three friends, Sasha, and Sigvard who is the unicorn king's brave lieutenant.
I'm absolutely loving being back in the unicorns' world and figuring out how they're going to rescue their patron, the good witch Celestina, and why Celestina's brother, Perseus, wants to keep her captive. Every good story needs a villain, right? Making sure we understand why Perseus is compelled to do evil things is a lot of fun to nut out.(less)

Cover reveal: Sasha and the Warrior Unicorn

One of the many cool things I enjoy as an indie published author is the chance to choose which talented illustrators and designers I work with.


Together, my illustrator Emma and cover designer Rose have created an absolutely stunning cover for the second book in The Unicorn King Series, Sasha and the Warrior Unicorn.


I’m thrilled to show it to you here!

A distracting page-turner

The trouble I have with AR Torre’s books is I can’t put them down! I want to know what happens next with such intensity that I’m reading late into the night and staying in bed reading in the morning when I should be up, work
