Born in England, Kate Clinch has lived in Australia since she was six. After a near-death experience, she left her medical practice and began researching and writing about spiritual matters—especially mysterious soul connections and miraculous healings. She’s co-authored research papers as a doctor, in the 1990’s wrote regular columns on garden history for Australian Doctor magazine, and in the 2000’s on homeschooling for Education Choices magazine. Her unpublished first novel was long-listed in Australia for the Richell Prize for Emerging Writers.

In 2020, after meeting Eileen O’Connor’s nuns to discuss Every Inch a Saint, she wrote them a medical report to support the investigation into her sainthood. She lives in Adelaide.
