Kate Carlisle
Golden Heart and Daphne du Maurier Award winning author Kate
Carlisle spent over twenty years working in television
production as an Associate Director for game and variety
shows, including The Midnight Special, Solid
Gold and The Gong Show. She traveled the world as
a Dating Game chaperone and performed strange acts of
silliness on The Gong Show. She also studied acting
and singing, toiled in vineyards, collected books, joined a
commune, sold fried chicken, modeled spring fashions and
worked for a cruise ship line, but it was the year she spent
in law school that finally drove her to begin writing
fiction. It seemed the safest way to kill off her
professors. Those professors are breathing easier now that
Kate spends most of her time writing near the beach in
Southern California where she lives with her perfect husband.
A lifelong love of old books and an appreciation of the art
of bookbinding led Kate to create the Bibliophile
Mysteries, featuring rare book expert Brooklyn
Wainwright, whose bookbinding and restoration skills
invariably uncover old secrets, treachery and murder. Kate
is a member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America,
International Thriller Writers and Romance Writers of
America®. She loves to drink good wine and
watch other people cook.
Despite the appearance of overnight success, Kate's dream of
publication took many, many years to fulfill. If you're
wondering why, here's the real scoop.
