Kimberly Cates

When Kimberly Cates was in third grade she informed her teacher that she didn't need to learn multiplication tables. She was going to be a writer when she grew up. Kimberly filled countless spiral notebooks with stories until, at age twenty-five, she received a birthday gift that changed her life: an electric typewriter. Kimberly wrote her first historical romance, sold it to Berkley Jove, and embarked on a thirty-year career as an author. Called "a master of the genre" by Romantic Times, her thirty-three bestselling, award-winning novels are noted for their endearing characters, emotional impact, and their ability to transport the reader to the mists and magic of the British Isles. Kimberly is the newest member of the Jewels of Historical Romance.

Kimberly Cates also writes historical fiction as Ella March Chase.
