Kate Loveday grew up in the seaside suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia with a love of books, and always wanted to write. She received a Diploma of Media Studies from the Australian College of Journalism in 2002.Her career has included publication of travel articles and short stories, as well as popular fiction. She previously worked in real estate and building, as an office manager, and finally as a natural beauty therapist, running her own natural therapy business with husband Peter for many years.
In 1988 Kate and Peter moved to Sydney for business reasons, and after thirteen years in that city they spent three years caravanning around Australia. spending much time in far north Queensland and came to love the area’s beautiful tropical rainforests and the Great Barrier Reef.
When they finished travelling, they settled in the mid-north coast of NSW, but after years of being separated from her family, the pull of blood ties became too strong to resist and Kate and Peter returned to Adelaide.
When not writing, she enjoys reading, listening to music, good food and wine, and ‘hanging out’ with family and friends. She takes part in writing groups, as well as being the financial manager of a Community Association.
Kate says, “I just want to write good stories, stories you can lose yourself in, with real characters you can love – or hate – that will keep you engrossed to the end. And if I can manage to touch your heart along the way, I’m happy.”
