Kate Braithwaite

Kate Braithwaite is the author of four historical novels based on true but overlooked events. Charlatan tells the story of Madame de Montespan and the Affair of the Poisons in seventeenth century Paris. The Plot features Titus Oates's Popish Plot, a scandal that earns him a place as one of Britain's top ten villains. The Puzzle of Nellie Bly explores the exploits of a ground-breaking female journalist going undercover in a nineteenth century New York lunatic asylum. The Scandalous Life of Nancy Randolph reveals a shocking rupture between two very different sisters in late eighteenth century Virginia.

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.
