Kate Wingo is the pseudonym of a two-time Golden Heart finalist. Born in Washington DC, she graduated from George Mason University with a degree in art history. Although Kate began her writing career in the romance genre, she switched gears several years ago, making the leap to thrillers. Having recently completed an esoteric thriller series for Penguin UK and previously Berkley Publishing, she has now happily returned to her romance roots (and her unabashed love of history). Kate lives and writes from her home in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.
