ONT Author Interview: Kate Gateley

Hello, fellow nerds! This week, we welcomed Kate Gateley back to the podcast, the author of the Lost Wells Trilogy and the newly released Shadow of the Yew Tree!Author Kate Gateley writes at her small Cowichan Valley farm on Canada’s beautiful Vancouver Island, where she lives with her one amazing husband, two fantastic sons, and a constantly evolving number of canine, feline, and aviary companions. With three published books, two Canadian Book Club Award wins, and three shortlist nominations under her belt, Kate celebrates the evolution of The Lost Wells trilogy into something that she dearly hopes can one day find a cherished spot among those volumes of both contemporary fantasy and historical romance novels that so inspired her growing up.When Kate isn't reading, writing, or wrangling children and animals, she enjoys time in her "hobby library," which includes any number of creative side quests. Kate prefers not to wear socks, drinks too much coffee, and forever falls for the cinnamon roll hero.Listen in as we chat more about Kate’s books, crafting Ronan’s story, and her other upcoming projects.
