Today’s author is one of my fellow Modern Extra authors – she also writes for Modern/Presents. I first met Susan Stephens at (oh, man, this is going to sound as if I spend my whole life doing this, and I swear I don’t, but…) an M&B author party. We were both very new at that point, with our first books just about to come out, way back in September 2002. And I was so relieved I wasn’t the only new author among this crowd of Very Famous People!

Like me, Susan’s on a tight deadline at the moment, but she’s been kind enough to write a few words for me. So here’s Susan Stephens:

Congratulations on your 25th book, Kate!

It's always a pleasure to congratulate a fellow author on such an important milestone, and especially one with your energy. You write fast, you live life to the full, and you organise the pants off anyone I know!

In short, you are amazing.

Keep up the wonderful work, Kate.
