Kate Long

Kate Long is the author of six novels. Her first, The Bad Mother's Handbook, was a number one bestseller, was serialised on Radio 4, nominated for a British Book Award and turned into an ITV drama/DVD starring Catherine Tate. She has since written five more novels: Swallowing Grandma, Queen Mum, The Daughter Game, Mothers and Daughters, and Before She Was Mine. Kate's stories tend to focus on family drama and relationships between the generations, and her earlier work was heavily influenced by her Lancashire upbringing.
