Kate Birkin is the award-winning and bestselling author of The Consequence of Anna, and Ava and Shalom. Both novels became instant #1 bestsellers, reaching international acclaim. Hailed as one of the top new historical fiction writers, her newest novel will be released in fall 2026.

With degrees in English Literature and History, Kate is an accomplished author and ghostwriter of a dozen other novels and two original screenplays. She lives and writes in a refurbished Victorian home overlooking the sea, where vintage oil painting portraits adorn the walls and their eyes seemingly follow you, stairs creak and doors mysteriously open by themselves, a fire is always crackling in her stone fireplace, and her two Siamese cats, Matilda and Carmichael, sit by her side while she creates.

As a lover of the arts, Kate also enjoys the opera, ballet, and playing her violin and piano. A passionate advocate for human and animal rights, she supports multiple charities that champion their cause.

“When I was a child, I knew that books were pure magic. Portals into another realm where the book cover itself is the enchanted key to enter. To be able to time travel and experience life through someone else’s eyes is something I have always cherished. And now, as I create these stories and characters myself, I fall in love with them. It’s not just the reader who embarks on a journey as they begin one of my novels. Like Bastian in The Neverending Story, I too venture on that same journey when I write, loving every minute of it!”
