Kate Walker


Oh wow. That's a nice Barclays there. Yeah.

Hi, I’m Kate Walker, a writer, artist, photographer but otherwise generally boring human being. I'll be your webmistress here at The Words of Walker and Edwards (three guesses which one I am!) 
I guess my claims to writing fame, if we're calling them that, are poet and playwright- I've had several pieces of poetry published and an excerpt from my first play, 'Playing Host'  was one of five winners of a county-wide competition and has been performed by professional actors at the Hall for Cornwall. Ironically, I kind of despise poetry and haven't written a play since, but I love to write and have made it my mission to do so for the rest of my life. My favourite genres to write are adventure, horror and fantasy, and I love a heavy sprinkle of romance (who doesn't?) I am currently in the process of writing my third full length novel, Imperfection, after completing two that are now locked in a box under my bed until a later date when I can face the travesty that is a first draft novel.
