Kate Sweeney was born in Athens, Georgia, and has since lived many places, including Los Angeles, New York City, and Salt Lake City. She began writing when she was sixteen. Her father–a novelist and screenwriter–had died five years prior, and in writing she found a way of bringing his voice back to her ears.

For the past ten years she has resided in the Bay Area, where she spends her time making music with her band, Magic Magic Roses, teaching literacy, and working with her husband at the family art-framing business.

This Is Not a Dead Girl Story by Kate Sweeney
"Startlingly powerful, This Is Not a Dead Girl Story was more explorative NA drama with an underlying mystery than YA thriller. From the deep well of grief to the thought-provoking themes tinged with darkness and despair, I am sure that I will be left" Read more of this review »
