About this author

edit data

Cate has washed laundry in a crocodile-infested African lake, parasailed over Cabo, had monkeys poop in her hair, and swum with dolphins, but her best adventures are her story worlds. Her lush fantasy romances about magic, danger and passion in faraway realms have won more than thirty awards. Her debut novel, Kismet's Kiss, was a two-time Romance Writers of America Golden Heart® finalist.

She credits her favorite childhood authors—a list that includes J.R.R. Tolkien, Guy Gavriel Kay, Anne McCaffrey, Nora Roberts, Ursula K. Le Guin, James Herriot, and C.S. Lewis—for her love of fiction, great characters, and a rich imagination. She also thanks her family for forgiving all those times she brought a novel to dinner.

Cate Rowan liked M.K. Chester's review of Swords and Scimitars: " Fantasy is not typically my genre of choice, however I have an association with this author, so to NOT read her seemed to be wrong :) I was not disappointed. Her style is very lyrical, which takes you into the heart of the story. Although this is a... " Read more of this review »
