Kate Orman
Guest Anthology Editor
Kate Orman lives in Sydney, Australia. She is best known for her many Doctor Who novels. Her short science fiction has been published in Analog and Interzone.
As a child, Kate's ambition was to become a scientist and cure cancer. Sadly, this plan was derailed by a disastrous honours year in genetics. Kate worked in a library for many years, and was about to begin a degree in librarianship when her first Doctor Who book was accepted by Virgin Publishing. The TV show is also to blame for her meeting her husband and co-writer, Jonathan Blum.
Kate is currently studying librarianship in earnest. Her ambition is to write a science fiction novel which has nothing to do with Doctor Who.
