Kate Novak is a fantasy author who grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, which she earned from the University of Pittsburgh. Her love for fantasy literature, however, eventually took center stage in her career.
Novak is primarily known for her work in the Forgotten Realms and Ravenloft shared worlds. These are popular fantasy settings used by various authors, allowing them to create stories within a well-established universe. Novak has made a significant contribution to these shared worlds, captivating readers with her unique storytelling and character development.
One of Novak's most notable collaborations is with her husband, Jeff Grubb. Together, they co-authored the best-selling Finder's Stone Trilogy, which includes the books "The Wyvern's Spur," "Song of the Siren," and "The Silver Stair." Their successful collaboration also led to the creation of the book "Azure Bonds," which was so popular that it was adapted into the computer game "Curse of the Azure Bonds." This adaptation not only showcased the appeal of their story but also demonstrated the impact of their work beyond the pages of a book.
