Hiya :) My name is Kate O'Connor, and I'm a budding author in a world full of budding authors. I'm a massive fan of Stephen King, so as you can probably guess I love to write horror/thriller stories. I'm currently working on my first novel, which is a horror story about a hotel on the old US Route 666, better known as the Highway To Hell. I'll do my best not to make it too much like The Shining.
​
I was born and raised in outback Australia and developed my love for Stephen King thanks to my mum, who also loves his work. I also fell in love with the land, the isolation, and the stunning blue skies that stretch on for miles and slowly turn orange and pink as the day ends.
​
I've lived a few different places around the globe, but Australia always calls me home. Partly because no other country wants me permanently, but partly because I love this one just fine. And now that I'm back here for good, putting down roots and selling my soul to the banks in return for a house, it's time to focus on my dreams and write my little heart out. As a lover of all things horror, I mean that literally...
