Inheritance

Kate Loveday grew up in the seaside suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia with a love of books and always wanted to write. Her career has included publication of travel articles and short stories, as well as full length novels. She previously worked in real estate and building, as an office manager, and finally as a natural beauty therapist, running her own natural therapy business with husband Peter for many years. In 1988, Kate and Peter moved to Sydney for business reasons and, after thirteen years in that city, they spent three years caravanning around Australia, spending much of that time in Far North Queensland, an area which she came to love, before settling in the mid-north coast of NSW. However, after years of being separated from family, the pull of blood ties became too strong to resist and they returned to Adelaide. When not writing, Kate enjoys reading, listening to music, good food and wine, and 'hanging out' with family and friends. She takes part in writing groups, as well as being the financial manager of a Community Association. Kate says, 'I just want to write good stories; stories you can lose yourself in, with real characters you can love - or hate - that will keep you engrossed to the end. And if I can manage to touch your heart along the way, I'm happy.'
