Kate Rogers

Kate is a debut novelist, finding the subject of her first novel quite by accident through suddenly finding herself widowed at 42. She has always loved the art of wordsmithery, having immersed herself in the poetry culture of the 1990s, listening avidly to live readings whilst at University in Bedford from the likes of Jackie Kay and Simon Armitage. She lives in the garden of England and wishes her own garden weren’t so full of biting insects and stinging nettles.

She loves to spend her time singing and riding her beloved horse Rupert, whom she has nicknamed Moomin as he resembles that mythical creature from 1990s television. She is a strong advocate for equality of opportunity for women in business and sport, having captained the first all-female bicycle polo team to victory in the 2019 world cup in Argentina. What she won’t tell you is that the victory resulting in their team becoming ‘number one ladies team in the world’ is due to the fact that they were the only ladies team to compete!

“And that’s my point” Kate would say in response “opportunities for all is what life is about”.
