Kate Glanville

Kate Glanville was born in West Africa to Irish parents and spent most of her childhood in Bristol. Kate now lives in a 17th century house in the gorgeous market town of Llandeilo in West Wales with two Golden Retrievers and a cat. She has three children who are nearly old enough to look after themselves!

She graduated with a degree in fashion design at Central St. Martins in 1990 and worked in the textile industry before becoming a ceramic artist. Kate’s hand painted tiles and tableware have been sold in shops and galleries all over the world.

As well a successful career as a visual artist, Kate has been writing stories since the age of eight, but it wasn’t until the age of forty that she had the confidence to show anyone!

Her first novel, A Perfect Home, was published by Penguin U.S. in 2012. Since then, Kate has published five novels with Headline Accent and in Germany they are published by by Baste Lubbe. They are also available as audiobooks (Stargazing, Cherry Tree Summer and The Peacock House).

Kate has also had a series of short stories published in The Lady magazine and she is chair of the annual Llandeilo Literature Festival.
