Kylie Kaden

My Child Columnist, wrangler of her sticky brood of boys, and self diagnosed chocoholic, Kylie Kaden was raised in Queensland and spent holidays camping with her parents and two brothers at the Sunshine Coast, where much of Losing Kate is set. She now lives in Brisbane with her husband and three young sons. As the only female in a house of males, she stays sane by plugging away with her writing whilst her youngest naps (and the washing mounts).
Losing Kate is her first novel and was discovered on the Random House slush pile. She was offered a publishing contract just days later. German rights to Losing Kate were snapped up at the Frankfurt Book Fair, and is now available (Der Sommer Mit Kate).
Her second novel, Missing You, was released in April 2015. While the blurb will tell you her second novel is about a young woman, who leaves her son in the dead of night and doesn’t come back. That it is about her family, who’s concern quickly turns to fear when her bloodstained car is found abandoned. That it is about a couple, hopelessly in love, but missing each other even before they were apart. While it is about all those things – a love story and a thriller, the author states Missing You is mostly about family dynamics when relationships are tested by adversity.
