When Kate Donovan isn’t watching escapist TV, she’s writing books or practicing law in northern California, where she lives with her very understanding husband and two children. Her first published novels were time travels and paranormal romances, one of which, A Dream Apart—her first and still her favorite—was the story of a young woman who discovers that she’s really a witch and has to learn to embrace her powers and a very unusual Destiny. Is it any wonder Kate became a “Charmed” fan? Her latest is Exit Strategy, a female action/adventure story from Silhouette’s Bombshell line.
