Kate Morrison

Kate Morrison’s debut novel A Book of Secrets was published in 2019 by Jacaranda Books. It tells the story of a girl from 16th century Ghana hunting for her lost brother through an Elizabethan underworld of spies, plots and secret Catholic printing presses. A Book of Secrets was longlisted for the Historical Writers Association Debut Crown Award 2020 and the Diverse Book Awards 2020. Kate started researching A Book of Secrets in 2003 and finally finished it 15 years and two children later. Many of her drafts were written while her babies napped. She now lives in West Sussex with her family and is trying to write another book set in Bronze Age Britain, in between lockdowns and homeschooling.
