Kate Morton was thrilled when her first novel called The Shifting Fog become an Australian bestseller and sold in 13 countries.

"I always have considered myself as a good reader, but never thought of becoming a writer. I enjoyed Drama and English in school, but I did not think that I would have ever pursued writing for a living."

"I wrote the had plotted the book and had wrote a good amount of the book. My agent said I had to finish the book because a prospective publisher wanted to review the full copy ASAP."

 With the help of family and fiends Kate ended up writing the book within one month and had wrote over 50,000 words. I was lucky to have been able to have the support of my family and focus solely on writing and nothing else.
