Kate Gordon-Smith is a New Zealand author of children’s fiction published by Relish Books.
She enjoys writing kids’ mysteries and fantasy adventures for readers aged 7 to 12. She loves creating un-putdownable stories that offer her readers the chance to get lost in a great story and disconnect from the real world for a while.
She loves supporting other New Zealand authors and publishers creating books for children and teens through her work as a book publicist and publishing coach at Relish Communications. She created the NZ Indie Publishing Directory to support NZ authors looking for help with self-publishing.
