Escape to a world of wonder ... the world of Kate Forsyth...

If you like books filled with magic and marvels, suspense and surprise, then you will love the many worlds of Kate Forsyth. Kate is a passionate believer in the power of stories to set us free...

What's New, What's Hot

'The Puzzle Ring' has been short-listed for the Aurealis Award for Best Young Adult Novel of 2009. Kate is one of five authors short-listed and the winner will be announced in late January.

Kate has also finished editing the manuscript for her latest book, 'The Wildkin's Curse'. It will be released in Australia in May, in time for Kate to appear with her sister Belinda Murrell at the Sydney Writers Festival – along with Anthony Horowitz, Andy Griffiths and Leigh Hobbs!

Kate will also be running a week-long writer's retreat in Greece next year so anyone who wishes to combine an intensive writing course with the magic of the Greek islands, come along & join me!

'The Puzzle Ring' has been gaining rave reviews both here in Australia and overseas. Read some highlights.
