Kate Horan’s professional background is in corporate communications, helping executives to pitch and present. Before that, she taught English and Drama at high schools in western Sydney where she relished inspiring teenagers with a love of reading and writing. She graduated from the University of Sydney in 2001 with an Honours degree in English Literature. After many years of feeling the niggle to write her own stories, she attended Faber Academy’s Writing a Novel program in 2020.
Kate’s debut novel, The Inheritance, was an instant Australian Bestseller, and was chosen as QBD’s Fiction Book of the Month in January 2025. Her second novel, On the Edge, will be published by HQ HarperCollins in January 2026.
When she’s not dreaming up twisty stories about people with dark secrets, she’s chauffeuring her teenage boys to and from social engagements, listening to true crime podcasts and walking her golden lab on Sydney’s beautiful Northern Beaches.
