Kate apparently suffers from ADHD in her writing as well as her working life. Regencies, paranormals, fantasies, historicals -- against the sage advice of established, successful writers ("focus, dammit!") Kate has written them all. A couple of them twice.
Completed Work:
Unnatural Calamities: A Contemporary. Winner in 2003 Jasmine, finalist in 2003 Finally A Bride.
A sensual contemporary comedy featuring calm Christopher and slightly oddball Janey, Unnatural Calamities has it all: amnesia, a secret baby, cops, guns, a millionaire venture capitalist, an alpha beta hero, twins (and of course a twin mix-up with an evil twin in prison), a Bad Boy, wild sex in a shower, handcuffs, a fish out of water, a Ranger type a la Stephanie Plum, a cowboy, and an ex-wife who was a gorgeous model.
The Strange Mr. White: A paranormal. Semi-finalist in 2003 Dorchester New Voices Contest.
A time-travel that takes place in the future and in the past. Trapped and alone in war-torn Spain of 1812, Miss Eliza Wickham is approached by a stranger who insists upon helping her. Though the well-bred Miss Wickman occasionally wonders if the peculiar Mr. White suffers from brain-fever or is a habitual liar, she finds she is attracted to the odd, elusive man.
Jazz White, an outcast in his own society of 2200, is abruptly summoned to join the elite corps of time traveling agents. His commission is to protect Eliza, the ancestor of his time’s greatest hero. But in order to fulfill his whole assignment, he must betray the trust of the woman he grows to love, the woman who teaches him what it is to be fully human.

Ethan, the Viscount Caudler, is a stern reformer with a reputation for clean living. When he gets drunk, he mistakes Emmeline for a prostitute. She does not reveal his folly. Once she was a woman he entirely overlooked, now Ethan sees her everywhere. What kind of game is she playing? Perhaps she is his mysterious yet inept blackmailer. Before long, they work together to uncover two blackmailers, one ineffectual, the other dangerously skillful.
The Last Omino: A fantasy. Numironimo is the last of her kind, the mind-reading cast that had enslaved the rest of society. An outcast because her warped power Numi is unaware that her cast has been wiped out, overthrown by its own slaves.
