Kate Huntington fell in love with the Regency period as a
high school sophomore in Huntington, Indiana, when she was
forced to read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen in
English class. It changed her life. She graduated from high
school, went to college to earn a bachelor of arts degree
in English and secondary education, became a newspaper
reporter and then an editor for a succession of newspapers
in Huntington and Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the Chicago
suburbs, but what she really wanted to do was write a book.
She figured she'd do that . . . someday.
Then her 40th birthday loomed hideously on the horizon and
she realized it was now or never.
So, she left suburban journalism in favor of a secretarial
job with regular hours and spent her nights and weekends
writing a traditional Regency romance novel. A year later,
she got it published. And the rest, as they say, is
history.
In addition to penning over a dozen Regency romance novels
and novellas for Zebra Regency Romance, she has written a
contemporary novel as Kate Ivers for the now defunct
Berkley line, Jove Irish Eyes. She has also written several
science fiction/fantasy/horror short stories under her real
name of Kathy Chwedyk for various anthologies.
