edit data

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. ...more

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!
