\n
My name is Kate Hawthorne and I’m your favorite authors favorite author. I write angsty and kinky queer romance. I was born and raised in San Diego and I lived in Los Angeles for thirteen years before relocating to Louisville, KY five years ago. I’m an avid reader and prolific writer, and I’ve been publishing for over seven years.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

🏳‍🌈 What is the title of your most recent release?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Hitman’s Prince (6\/6\/25)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

🏳‍🌈 Is there a book or a movie that has helped you have a better understanding of a current or past event in LGBTQ history?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
When Fellow Travelers came out I watched the series and read the book and found them both to be extremely poignant versions of the same story about being queer during McCarthyism. As we enter another period in our government where left-leaning and queer people are being actively persecuted by our government, it was a stark reminder of the parallels between then and now that still exist. The book went into such greater detail of the politics and relationships with secondary characters, focused not just on the love story from the show, but the fight to survive without compromising yourself to do so.<\/div>\n

🏳‍🌈 If you could have dinner with a famous person from the LGBTQ community, past or present, who would that be and why?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I mean, who wouldn’t want to meet Martha P. Johnson?? Stonewall was the catalyst for a massive human rights movement that has spanned decades, and while I doubt that she knew she’d become famous for her role in that, but the history is still there and I would love to hear her story in her own words.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n
🏳‍🌈 <\/span>Do you have a favorite review(s) of one of your books left by a reader? Care to share the title of the book, the review, and why this one stood out to you.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
As a rule, I try to not read reviews (because reviews are meant for readers not for me), but I’ve had multiple trans and non-binary readers reach out privately after reading Worth the Chance, so those are the ones that always mean the most. Verity is one of my favorite characters and I’m grateful that their story has resonated with so many people.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
