Kate Furnivall is a British historical novelist who is well known for the debut novel, The Russian Concubine.
[2] Furnivall's first novel, The Russian Concubine, is based on her mother's life and was written following the latter's death in 2000 (a request to document Furnivall's mother's life came from the author's family in the wake of the passing).
Furnivall has cited the origins of her writing career in the prolific oeuvre of her husband, also an author, who has written under the pseudonym, "Neville Steed".
[1] Furnivall attended London University and worked in advertising where she met her future husband, Norman.
