edit data

Kate has been jotting down stories since she was a little girl reading Agatha Christie novels over her mother’s shoulder in bed- faking being asleep so she didn’t have to leave and go back to her own room.

That soon led to recapping dreams early in the morning before they were forgotten, creating worlds to escape to when the real one wasn’t cutting it, and endless short stories written on looseleaf paper and bound together by duct tape so that they felt like REAL books.

Kate is originally from Long Island. She now resides in Connecticut with her husband, son, and two dogs where she loves the quiet and fresh air but misses the bagels....ohhhh the bagels.

Kate Gemma liked Tulip_OnTheTBR's review of The Tenement Nurse: "This book still haunts me two weeks later because where do these types of nurses come from??!! And the scary thing is, we’ve seen these people on Snapped and other true crime shows!!! I mean, I can really see this happening back in the 1920s!!! Yikes" Read more of this review »
