Kate Clayborn is a well-known American author, celebrated for her work in the romance, contemporary, chick-lit, adult fiction, and women's fiction genres. She is best recognized for her series, Chance of a Lifetime. Clayborn's books are known to evoke a range of emotions in her readers, making them laugh, sigh with happiness, and even cry. Her novels have been praised by critics worldwide for their wit and warmth.
Clayborn's love for storytelling can be traced back to her first-grade year when she wrote about secret agents, fairy princesses, and even fairy princesses who were secret agents. Her teacher was impressed by her handwriting and the imaginative stories she wrote, giving her gold stars for her efforts. This early experience, however, did not immediately lead Clayborn to become a writer. Instead, she pursued various interests, including obtaining her master's and Ph.D. degrees, traveling, working, renovating her home, and living her life on her own terms. Throughout these experiences, Clayborn always had a book with her, reflecting her enduring love for stories and reading.
Clayborn is the author of six critically acclaimed novels, with her work featured in several prestigious publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, Oprah Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, and Bookpage. During the day, she works in education, while she dedicates her nights and early mornings to writing contemporary romances about intelligent, strong, modern heroines who navigate the world with the support of their true friends and complicated families. Clayborn currently resides in Virginia with her husband and their dog.
