Books by Kate Poels

Kate Poels was born in Honiton, Devon but moved to the beautiful Worcestershire countryside when she was only a few months old. Educated locally she grew up with a thirst for books and a love for children. Opting to pursue a career in the latter, Kate began training as a children's nurse at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. During her training she was sent to work in a school for children with severe learning difficulties and decided that this was what she really wanted to do. With this in mind she changed her outlook and retrained as a primary school teacher at Reading University. Having thoroughly enjoyed several years of teaching she took a break to have her two daughters, Lily and Jemima. Now that Kate's girls are at school and she is only teaching part-time she has been gifted with a few spare hours to feed her writing addiction. Whenever she can she loves plugging herself into her laptop and headphones before losing herself in her fictional characters and their worlds. Kate's own real world is now centred round a semi in Reading where she lives with her husband, Will, growing daughters, and insane rescue dog, Pippi.
