Kate Forsyth
 http://members.ozemail.com.au/~kforsyth/ I've always wanted to be a writer, learning to read at a young age started my passion for writing and I've had at least one novel in progress ever since. My first novel, heavily influenced by Enid Blyton—then my favourite author, was written at age seven. At thirteen, my best friend and I starting writing a fantasy trilogy, which took up a great deal of time over the next few years. After graduating in a Bachelor of Arts in Literature from Macquarie University I worked as a full-time journalist, including editor of Hair and deputy editor of Money Watch before quitting to work freelance, writing articles for Vogue Australia, Black & White, Studio Bambini, Mode Brides, Interiors and Australian Collections amongst others. Freelancing allowed me to concentrate more on my poetry and to be President of the Poets Union. I publish my poetry under my maiden name, Kate Humphrey, which has appeared in Australian newspapers, such as The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Bulletin, and domestic and international literary magazines I returned to writing novels, using a serious literary novel as the thesis for my Master of Arts in Writing. To relieve the tedium of studying the post-modernist, post-structuralist, post-deconstructionist theories of Lacan, Derrida and de Saussure for my exams, I started devouring a multi-book fantasy series. The turning point was when my ever-supportive husband said, "You read those things, why don't you write one?" And so I did. I was born in Sydney, the most beautiful city in the world, in 1966 and still live there with my husband Greg, our beautiful boys, Benjamin and baby Timothy, our daughter Eleanor and a little black cat called Shadow—my inspiration for the elven cats! I can spend all my days spinning stories and daydreaming and, thanks to all my readers, can make a living of sorts from it. |
