Kate Birkin is the award-winning, bestselling author of The Consequence of Anna, and Ava and Shalom. Hailed as one of the top new historical fiction writers, her novels became instant #1 bestsellers, reaching international acclaim.
With degrees in English Literature and History, Kate is an accomplished author and ghostwriter of a dozen other novels and two screenplays. She lives and writes in a refurbished Victorian home overlooking the sea, where vintage oil painting portraits adorn the walls and their eyes seemingly follow you, stairs creak and doors mysteriously open by themselves, a fire is always crackling in her stone fireplace, and her two Siamese cats, Matilda and Carmichael, sit by her side while she creates.
As a lover of the arts, Kate also enjoys the opera, ballet, and playing her violin and piano. A passionate advocate for human and animal rights, she supports multiple charities that champion their cause.
“When I was a child, I knew that books were pure magic. Portals into another realm where the book cover itself is the enchanted key to enter. To be able to time travel and experience life through someone else’s eyes is something I've always cherished. And now, as I create these stories and characters myself, I fall in love with them. It’s not just the reader who embarks on a journey as they begin one of my novels. Like Bastian in The Neverending Story, I too venture on that same journey when I write, loving every minute of it!”

To Anna, love was total ownership and worship. It was beautiful until it wasn’t. Anna and Ambrosia (Rose) were cousins, best friends, and soul sisters. After losing her sister and mother as a little girl, Rose filled that void for Anna. But then Rose got married in New York and didn’t see Anna for eleven years. When a shocking event occurred, and Rose returned to Sugar Alexandria, Anna wanted to keep her there forever. She would do anything regardless of the consequences because anything Anna wants, Anna gets. To keep Rose at Sugar Alexandria forever, she would give her a gift, and when once accepted, it would mark the beginning of the end. Will everyone recover from the coming storm? To get the details, read The Consequence of Anna by Kate Birkin and Mark Bornz.
The Consequence of Anna by Kate Birkin and Mark Bornz is a gripping story, a masterpiece worthy of book clubs and the big screen. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster. The trifecta of Anna, Rose, and James made me feel like I'd officiated at a wrestling match, which ended without a victor or a vanquished. Everyone left the ring with scars and I too remain conflicted. Why did James wait so long? Was Rose justified? Did Anna love too much? Can morality be bent? Was Liam wrong to start the ball rolling? In the end, everyone got their wishes. However, while we play at God, fate might just be using us as instruments to fulfill a purpose. Thank you, Kate and Mark, for shedding light on Asperger’s syndrome, schizophrenia, and dissociative identity disorder. This was an intense read.
