Biographie de Kate Breuer

Kate has been reading and writing for as long as she can remember. As a child she could be found cooped up in armchairs, snuggled in beds, or propped inside door frames reading books like The Little Prince and The Diary of a Young Girl despite being a bit younger than its target audience. During a summer vacation at her grandmother's house, she wrote her first story about a cigarette going on an adventure to avoid death by fire.
This morbidly fun tale was inspired by her grandmother's chain-smoking habits. Reading a poem at her best friend's funeral as a teenager made her realize just how much power words hold. With the help of Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, as well as Bilbo, Frodo, Pippin, and the like, she wrote fantasy novels and short stories. One of her first finished books and possibly the most embarrassing part of her writing career was a sequel to Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
It was years before she moved on to original work and even longer before any of it had much value. In 2015, she wrote her first published novel during NaNoWriMo--well, a very rough first draft. After a long four years, it was finally edited, and more books always in her mind. Keep dreaming, but also, please, keep thinking.
