Kate Collins
Kate Collins is an American author of cozy mystery and romance novels. She writes the Flower Shop Mysteries series featuring Abby Knight. Kate earned her Master’s degree in Education from Purdue University and went onto a career teaching elementary school. Becoming a mother caused a career change, however. Kate began writing stories for children’s magazines and eventually sold her first novel. Besides writing, Kate (of course) enjoys gardening, yoga, travel decorating, reading and spending time with family and friends. She lives in Northwest Indiana and Key West, Florida.

After writing historical romances as Linda O’Brien and children’s books, Kate Collins made her debut as a mystery author in 2004 with the novel Mum’s the Word. Below is a list of Kate Collins’ books in order of when they were originally published:
