About the author

Kate Church spends her days immersed in the world of healthcare and her nights chasing stories, starlight, and the quiet magic of the outdoors. As a neurodivergent, she moves through life with one foot in reality and the other firmly planted in realms of wonder. When she isn’t wandering forest trails, she’s buried in a book or crafting her own, slipping into the quiet corners where imagination likes to hide.

A lifelong admirer of folklore and medieval history, she draws deeply from those traditions to shape the rich, imaginative realms she builds—worlds that feel both ancient and daringly new. Her writing leans into the magic between the lines, honoring the roots of classic fantasy while continually nudging its boundaries into fresh, unexpected territory.

These days, you’ll often find her in primary schools, libraries, and local bookshops sharing Splat the Dinosaur alongside her son, Zac—celebrating his voice and the awareness it brings to neurodiversity, one joyful reading at a time. She invites readers to journey with her as she approaches the epic finale of The Chronicles of Caladh and continues nurturing several new adventures waiting just beyond the horizon.
