“Once you label me, you negate me.” — Søren Kierkegaard
“Laity is a very remarkable sorceress indeed.”
~ Elizabeth Hand“Laity knocks your socks off with the language and also with the dialog.”
~ Les Edgerton“Laity is probably a figment of her own imagination, and what an imagination that is! A witty and inventive wordsmith. A natural storyteller. A one off!”
~ Paul D. Brazill“Laity mixes genres in ways that are always rewarding… a compelling writer who is utterly readable.”
~ Richard Godwin“Kate’s work is always measured and elegant and is frequently very, very funny and her sense of humour runs pleasingly dark.”
~ Alasdair Stuart
