Kate Moore

I was not orphaned. I never worked in a shoe-blacking factory or lived in an isolated country vicarage. Other than the threat of atomic annihilation, my childhood was an agreeable one in houses full of books in a family ready for adventures along the California coast, and magically on the island of Oahu. My people were storytellers, fascinated with history, news, and gossip. When Jane Austen’s works revealed my world in a new way, I began to write stories of falling in love standing up (mostly fully clothed) in the midst of family. This fall Boroughs Publishing Group released my 19th Romance—Saturday Santa. Kate lives north of San Francisco with her surfer husband, their yellow Lab, a Pack 'n Play for visiting grandbabies, and miles of crowded bookshelves.
