I came to love the little critters, so when I wrote BUZZ KILL, I did a lot of hands-on research. I was delighted - when we moved to Tucson - to discover that the world-renowned Carl Hayden Bee Research Center is right here in my backyard. That sort of clinched the story for me.(less)

Kate’s Quotes

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
