Kate Evans is a writer of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. Last December she ‘indie’ published ‘The Art of the Imperfect’ the first in a series of crime novels she is writing which is set in Scarborough. Her book, Pathways Through Writing Blocks in the Academic Environment, was traditionally published by Sense Publishers in 2013. She has an MA in Creative Writing from Sussex University and teaches on the Degree in Creative Writing at the University of Hull, Scarborough campus. Her crime fiction is inspired by Ruth Rendell, Minette Walters and Ann Cleeves. She is trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor. She loves walking by the sea and afternoon tea, and has an inexplicable drive to bring a new generation to the poetry of Edith Sitwell. www.writingourselveswell.co.uk
