Originally from Scotland, Kate studied English at Leeds University and has subsequently lived in Canada and the US. She is the author of Sis-Stories, a Substack publication all about sisters in history and fiction, and an editor for the Historical Novel Society. Kate and her family live in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Kate Braithwaite is the author of four historical novels based on true but overlooked events. “The Scandalous Life of Nancy Randolph” reveals a shocking rupture between two very different sisters in late 18th century Virginia. “The Puzzle of Nellie Bly” explores the exploits of a ground-breaking female journalist going undercover in a 19th Century New York lunatic asylum. “The Plot” features Titus Oates’ Popish Plot, a scandal that earns him a place as one of Britain’s top 10 villains. “Charlatan” tells the story of Madame de Montespan and the Affair of the Poisons in 17th Century Paris. THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR (Joffe Books, 2025) is a novel of domestic suspense, set in a neighborhood suspiciously like the one Kate and her family moved to in 2010.
