Kate Morton
Image
I want to be independent. To meet interesting people. ... I just mean new people with clever things to say. Things I've never heard before. I want to be free. Open to whatever adventure comes along and sweeps me off my feet.
Kate Morton
Image
There's a market for mysteries for adults. That feeling of opening a book and delving inside and not coming out until you've closed the book.
Kate Morton
Image
I simply love writing good stories, that's my passion.
Kate Morton
Image
It's a terrible thing, isn't it, the way we throw people away?
Kate Morton

I am not a storyteller . . . not like the others. I only have one tale to tell.
Kate Morton
Image
She doesn't know I cry for the changing times. That just as I reread favourite books, some small part of me hoping for a different ending, I find myself hoping against hope that the war will never come. That this time, somehow, it will leave us be.
