Welcome.
Let me introduce myself
I’m Tory Gates…
Author, radio host, music lover, and cat parent.
A real, live author?
Yes! I write mostly young/new adult fiction that is relatable but also compelling. The worlds I create are real, sometimes exotic, and you will be taken there…
The Voice Behind the Mic…
People said I talked too much as a kid. Well, now we know why—I was practicing for a career I had no idea I could possibly do! Over the past four decades, my voice has been turned to radio, including deejaying and news, podcasts, audiobooks, and music.
Voice work is not just announcing songs or giving the news; it’s telling a story and conveying an experience.

So my cat has a blog…
I used to have a blog, and then Kao took it over. She has decided that blogs have become a failure because humans are running them. While she will grant me the occasional “guest post” (because she will be busy eating), most of these ramblings will be the opinions of Kao, which are hers alone.
