But has since lived in France as well, before settling down on the south coast of England.She studied fashion at school and worked for notable designers such as Calvin Klein and Oleg Cassini. But it was always creative writing that really interested her most.She has written over twenty-one books of which twenty were commercially published. These were middle-grade fantasies that are sold all around the world in eleven different languages. Her main publishers are Hodder Children's and Aladdin - a division of Simon & Schuster, New York. Her most popular book series is Pegasus. Though she has four other series currently in print.The Caterpillar and the Blackbird was first written by Kate as a children's musical and has been performed in theatres in England and as of 2024 is still on stage. It was after the show that Kate went on to write it as a picture book. She is currently working on a new series of middle-grade books, but is also working on an adult thriller that has garnered some keen interest.  Illustrator:  R. ChristopherR. Christoper is a bit of a man of mystery. He prefers to keep a low profile and instead, lets his art speak for him. Though it is known that he's been an artist since he was young. His main interest has always been pen and ink wildlife art - though he has started branching out into children's illustrations which he creates using a mixture of alcohol based markers and watercolour paints. Being a traditionalist, he does not use a computer to create his art. Instead each piece is hand drawn and painted on a matt board which is almost a metre square, making each piece huge. When he signed on to do the cover and interior illustrations for the Caterpillar and the Blackbird, this didn't change. Each piece was too large to scan and had to be photographed.He is currently working on three more children's covers and then will start to work on another children's picture book being written by Kate O'Hearn.
