After originally publishing under her own name, Katie now writes contemporary romance as Annabel French for Avon, HarperCollins. She's also vice chair of the Romantic Novelists' Association and dabbles in romcom screenplays.

When she's not writing, Katie can be found running around after her family and doing endless loads of washing before walking her three-legged rescue dog and drinking wine as soon as it's socially acceptable.

She is currently writing a romcom based around the wedding industry.
