Mini Kat is the author of the Second Self trilogy, which opens with Two Lives, One Lie, the story of a woman divided between the life she built and the one she never stopped living in secret. The book grew out of a simple question: what would happen if the person you loved most had an entire life you never knew about?
Claire and Wren first started talking to her on her sofa, late at night, once the house had finally gone quiet. No outline, no desk, just a notes app and a couch that has seen more plot twists than any piece of furniture should. She still writes that way today.
Mini Kat is also a singer-songwriter. The music on her EP Finds grew out of the same world as the book, each song written from inside Claire's divided life. She lives in Portugal, where she is, first of all, a mother.
