Ryder’s love for fiction began when he was just a child and he would often be found with a pen in hand writing in a notebook or with her nose buried in a book.

At school, the only subjects she had an interest in were Art and English Literature. She thanks her lucky stars that she was under the tutelage of a wonderful English teacher that gave her all the encouragement she needed to write.
Upon graduating from college, she worked for a London-based publishing company as an editor at a time when most celebrities used to publish kiss and tell stories.

One of the biggest names in the space that she published was “The Stud” by Jackie Collins, which would ultimately be made into a film.

Working in the editorial team, Kate Ryder was involved in a lot of press events surrounding the film and the book.

She was involved in several book tours of authors from the United Kingdom. She also toured the UK for several days with Diana Dors, the British film star, which was a most memorable occasion.
She would then get out of the film and book world and get into property and travel. But as she approached one of her birthday milestones, she realized that it was time to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming an author.

At some point, Kate Ryder and her husband moved to Cornwall where they purchased a two-century-old derelict cottage.

While they were renovating the cottage and making it livable, they found some fascinating contents from the occupants of the house.

Apart from spending many days installing electronics, plumbing, procuring building materials, and mixing cement, she also got involved in other things.
She used to attend country fairs all over Cornwall and Devon selling complementary health products.

It was while she was on these trading endeavors that she had a conversation with a fellow trader over a cottage she once owned that got her creative juices flowing.
By this time she was an active participant in a local writers’ group and she thought she should write a short story to present to the group.
The group was mesmerized by her story and this gave her the encouragement to continue writing.

Later on, she traveled to Dorset and discovered the Shipton Gorge and Walditch village. She was fascinated by the history of the villages and the surrounding area and made use of these as the basis for her debut novel “The Forgotten Promise.”
