Kate Lord Brown
Hello - thanks so much for visiting. If you like stories which bring to life forgotten history and weave together amazing true events with page turning fiction you've come to the right place. I'm always looking for the 'diamond in the dust heap' as Woolf put it - those irresistible events which make you think: why does nobody know about this?
Like most writers, I've always loved reading. In fact my earliest memory is reading a Ladybird book in a wildflower meadow, wearing a pair of red shoes. I've always written since I was a child - diaries, plays for toys and I was roped in to write love letters on the school bus for friends to give their boyfriends, which may well be why I ended up writing historical fiction with a strong romantic element. Later on I joined a writers' group in London which used to meet in the basement of Nomad travel bookstore once a week, and I began writing my first novel. I used to get up an hour before work and type away in the corridor of our studio flat with my keyboard balanced on my husband's sock drawer.
Wherever we have travelled our books have come too, and after twenty three moves around the world I've finally unpacked them in a library in the old Georgian house we've just restored. I love the research for each book, and they all have elements I most enjoy reading about myself - family secrets, real historical figures making cameos, beautiful houses, amazing locations and the fight for love.
