Hi all

I'm Kate and I'm a 47 year old nurse who aspires to be a writer. I have been on a wattpad for sometime now and I have found it a really supportive place for a would be scribe.

I now have two novels on Amazon

This is the second thing I wrote. It follows on from the modern version of Macbeth which was on the BBC a while ago. I was really interested to explore what happened to MacDuff after Macbeth's death.

Oh my god! I just finished reading 'in the bleak midwinter' i was a little bit hesitant in the beginning since i dont really know the show it was based on, but god it turned out amazing. i can't seem to describe how much ur stories affect me. I mean ' degrees of silence' was just so amazingly written, its like u knit ur words so brilliantly, it hurts. and now theres ' in the bleak of midwinter'.  U are such a brilliant writer ma'am.

Hey, this is me again telling you how beautiful 'degrees of silence' is. Being a speech therapist myself, i happen to work with individuals with hearing difficulties, i find it amazing how you described the silent world of sabrina with all its details. And i was deeply touched (and yes i cried a little) by the way you talked abt lottie's struggles and how Tom took the abuse without telling anyone abt it so he could protect lottie. Very emotional and heartbreaking.

Hi. I was trying to vote after reading the first chapter of 'degrees of silence' which i had had in my library for some time and i got a message saying that the vote could not be taken. So i went to ur profile page and i saw that u took it down from wattpad. First, i wanted to tell you that im deeply touched by the story and im still at chapter 1. And second, congrats on publishing it and good luck.

You took away degrees of silence?! Anyway, I loved it. Thank goodness I read it before. If not I'd have killed someone.
