For Kate Schumacher, fantasy isn’t just about magic and faeries, it’s about peeling back the layers of human nature through sweeping worlds, flawed systems, and characters that refuse to be simple heroes or villains. Writing under both Kate Schumacher and KM Schumacher, she crafts speculative fiction and epic fantasy for adults who crave romance, political intrigue, and emotional depth in their stories.


Her novels take readers deep into vast, sprawling worlds, where myth and magic intertwine with complex politics. At the heart of these tales are characters who are unapologetically messy, driven by feminine rage, haunted by emotional scars, yet striving to do the right thing even when the odds are stacked against them. Romance blooms within her epics, not as a secondary thread, but as a pulse that amplifies the stakes and reveals vulnerability in even the hardest of warriors.

Kate’s writing is richly influenced by history, sociology, philosophy, mythology, and politics. These disciplines infuse her worlds with authenticity, grounding the fantastical in themes that resonate with real life. Her stories don’t shy away from examining flawed systems and power struggles, asking readers to reflect on humanity’s enduring challenges even while they’re transported to realms of wonder.


But beneath the grandeur of her fictional landscapes lies a dream that began decades ago. “I’ve wanted to be a published author since I was eight years old,” Kate shares. That lifelong ambition fuels her dedication to creating stories that challenge, enchant, and linger in the imagination long after the final page is turned.


Whether you’re drawn to her books for the epic worldbuilding, the political intrigue, or the simmering romance between broken yet resilient characters, one thing is certain: Kate Schumacher’s writing invites readers to not only escape into fantasy, but also to confront truths about themselves and the world they live in.
