Kate Douglas started out writing radio copy for a country western radio station in 1972, wrote and illustrated an educational cartoon strip for the American Mosquito Control Association for a number of years, was a newspaper reporter for a small town weekly where she covered everything from high school sports to drug busts, and then, in the mid-1980s, decided to write her first romance.
Many submissions and rejections followed.
In 1998, she sold to a small ebook publisher before anyone knew what an ebook was, but it wasn't until 2005, a full twenty years after finishing that first romance, that she signed with a New York publisher.
In January 2006, Kensington Publishing launched their Aphrodisia imprint of erotic romance with Kate's Wolf Tales, a sexy paranormal series about a lost race of shapeshifters. She went on to write 21 novels and novellas in that series, then wrote three other series for Kensington before moving to St. Martin's Press.
She has two series with SMP--The Intimate Relations series complete with three novels and one novella of romantic suspense set in California's wine country, and an erotic paranormal series, Feral Passions, set in California's Trinity Alps.

WolfTales8.5
When we last saw Beth, she had repudiated her mate, Nick, and decided to shiver in silence.
Picking up just there, Chanku Challenge takes us through the pack’s response to Beth’s needs and circumstances. After Millie rebuked her selfishness, Daci set out to help Beth find answers. First, with Nick, then for herself.
Several of the Chanku women had been molested and despoiled their attackers. Those dark memories had lost their power to haunt Keisha and Tala, but only by being examined and owned. They give Beth the same foundation, and encouragement to face her past.
It’s amazing what can be accomplished with support.

Great read
Wonderful addition to the Wolf Tales series. Beth getting justice and closure about her molestation by her step-father was a very satisfying story to read. I would recommend this story to any adult reader who enjoys sexy shifter romances.

Beth and Nick are very new to this whole Chanku thing. When they were first able to shift they felt that they needed to be mated. After that, everything kind of turned a little sideways. What will happen and will they be able to come back from it if they end up trying?
