The eldest of four sisters, Kate Rouse grew up in Albury and on a small farm at Table Top, New South Wales, Australia. She had a happy childhood with freedom to explore nature and enjoy life with horses that were a huge part of her life then as they still are today.
After completing a BA and Dip Ed at the University of New England, Armidale, Kate worked at Mt Hotham and Mt Buffalo in various roles and travelled extensively throughout the world for 12 years, interespersed with teaching English in Japan and casual teaching in New South Wales and Victoria. She self-published two travelogues in the 1990's.
During the following 12 years Kate worked as a teacher, Aboriginal Education Worker, youth worker, pool manager, factory hand and receptionist. She travelled in Australia with her partner, Shayne, completed certificate IV in Community Welfare, a Counselling Diploma and a Fine Arts Certificate.
At Christmas 2010, Kate was struck down with pneumonia and during this time she contemplated her mortality. Slowly recuperating while house-sitting in Queensland, Kate began to think about what she would write in a book if her life was coming to its finality when the idea of, "A Spiritual Handbook for the Modern Era," emerged in 2012. Kate wanted to help others who were experiencing trouble or confusion and provide some clarity with relevance to the sometimes complicated and often demanding era we find ourselves in today. Kate published the book with Zeus Publications in 2013. A new version is now (2019) available as an ebook and will soon be available as a print book.
Kate and Shayne live in Queensland where they are establising a small horse stud. Living with Chronic Fatigue and its many challenges, Kate is still pursuing her dream of being a writer and artist. She has experienced life broadly, felt life deeply and studied spirituality from an early age. Kate and Shayne share their lives with Teuco, a talkative blue parrot, Whispit and Sox, michievous tabby cats and ten beautiful horses.
