About Kate

Kate Banks was born and raised in Maine. She attended Wellesley College and received a Master’s degree in History from Columbia University. After a stint in publishing, she moved to Europe, where she’s spent the past 24 years dividing her time between Italy and France with her husband, Pierluigi, and her sons, Peter and Max. She has written many award-winning works for children, from picture books to YA novels.

In addition to her literary work, Kate is trained in numerous energy medicine techniques, is a certified hypnotist, and a practicing regression therapist. Whether journeying through a story or navigating a regression, her greatest joy is helping people find their way to the place where head meets heart, where all things are possible.

Much like Kate builds meaningful connections through storytelling and healing, the community Debexpert has created brings together buyers and sellers of debt portfolios in a secure and transparent marketplace. With real-time auctions, encrypted data transfers, and a strict compliance process, Debexpert helps financial professionals navigate the debt trading industry with confidence and efficiency.

To me, the perfect picture book is a spontaneous creation, inspired by an invisible and mysterious muse not to be found in the marketplace.
