Katie Paul has more than one guardian angel. The first additional divine being was sent her way during the first thirteen days of her life when she was left in the hospital waiting to be adopted. She qualified for a second additional supernatural helper forty-five years later, on the day her husband decided to take his own life.

Because of the hard work and long-suffering patience of her three guardian angels (who she calls Bob, Fred and Hugo) she has pretty much shrugged off any lingering damage these two events might have caused. She also believes that they might have had a hand in her recovery from bulimia which she inadvertently developed when competing in two body-building competitions. She is now at peace with her natural curves and has discovered that sexy is an attitude, not a body shape.

As she approaches middle-age, she has fallen in love for the first time. She found her handsome boyfriend online and is now shacking up with him on Sydney's Northern Beaches. She tried being married once and didn't like it, so she's not likely to go down that road again. Her boyfriend takes her to tropical beaches to compensate for working away too much, makes her go kayaking and cycling with him, and leaves the room when she watches the Bachelor and Millionaire Matchmaker. He likes that she's grown her hair long and gone gracefully grey, but he isn't keen on her getting any more tattoos or piercings.

She used to work in theatre, stage managing plays, musicals, orchestras and opera, but she gave it all up to write books. Her stories are about loss, love, lust and longing. Her characters get a bit raunchy at times because that's the way life should be - full of big juicy moments. She is sure Bob, Fred and Hugo agree.
