ⓘ About Kate Watterson

Kate Watterson was born in Minnesota, but she grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her first passion was biology and she attended Illinois State University, where she got her major in biology. She became well recognized in the last few years by novel readers when she published one of her first book called The Switch back in 2005. ‘The Switch’ had really good reviews and people who enjoyed reading romance novels were thrilled. That was just a beginning for a newcomer in novel writing. The interesting thing about Kate Watterson is that she is writing under few pseudonyms, so don’t be surprised if you see her book under Emma Wildes or Katherine Smith alias.
