Kate Mallinder lives with her husband, four children and two cats near Ashby-de-la-Zouch in Leicestershire. She grew up in Solihull. She is fascinated by what makes people tick and writing is her way of exploring that. Even after writing Summer of No Regrets, Sasha, Hetal, Nell and Cam still had more to say, so she followed them on a road trip. Summer Under the Stars is her third novel.
