Born in Ballarat, Victoria I started writing with a book about my Grandmothers life. I moved with my husband and son to Queensland and joined writing groups and took creative writing courses. I started submitting book reviews and articles to Gold Coast Writers 'eWriteabout', Zeus Publications (my e-book publisher), Queensland Writers Centre 'Writing Queensland' magazine, and other online newsletters including; 'The Reading Stack' and 'Pass It On'. I've had short stories published in Antipodean SF, an online e-magazine, and, more recently my stories have appeared on ABC Open, an online showcase of stories from all around Australia. Kate Russell loves reading books and stories so much that she decided to write some herself! She has contributed to two short story anthologies for primary school children and has also written several novels for adults and young adults, which she hopes to release into the wild over the next two to three years. She is a member of the Gold Coast Writers' Association, Queensland Writer's Centre and Sisters in Crime.
