Kate Quinn

I can’t remember a time I wasn’t writing. I wrote my first short story at seven (front and back of a blank piece of typing paper, straggling pencil block print) and my first book at ten (121 typed and double-spaced pages of pure awful!) I wrote as a high schooler, as a college student balancing a full class-load and several work-study jobs, as a graduate with a 60-hour work week in a cubicle I hated. I always wanted to be a published author, and I count myself very lucky that the stars aligned and it happened for me, but even if I wasn’t, I’d still be writing books and putting them under the bed. The procession of characters through the mind, the rabbit-hole of historical researching, and the delight of putting words down on paper is a happy drug for me, the best and most absorbing hobby in the world. One of the few hobbies, in fact, that can be done by anyone–no special equipment required, just a story to tell and a means to set it down!
