I started this "favourites" feature because I wanted a way for readers to get to know the authors attending BookBuzz Toronto, an event I'm helping with. I hope you enjoy learning a little more about these amazing women and I hope you can attend the event! Learn more about BookBuzz Toronto here.
Of the ten authors attending BookBuzz Toronto, Kate is the only author I haven't read! I hope to rectify that soon!
About Kate...
Kate Hilton has worked in law, higher education, public
relations, fundraising and publishing. She has an English degree from
McGill University and a law degree from the University of Toronto. She
holds down a day job, volunteers for community organizations, raises two boys,
cooks, collects art, reads voraciously and likes her husband. In her free
time, she writes. On good days, she thinks she might have it all. On bad
days, she wants a nap.
The Hole in the Middle is Kate’s first book. It
is forthcoming from HarperCollins Canada in December 2013. Kate is
represented by Beverley Slopen of the Beverley Slopen Literary Agency.
