A prolific writer under another name, Kate Pavelle is an award-winning author and an Amazon best-seller. Her works span many genres, but her Kate Pavelle pen name focuses on works of suspense, adventure, and the occasonal dead body.

Born in the Czech Republic, Kate enjoys her rich family and professional life in Pittsburgh, PA.

Mother, grandmother, matriarch. In the 1970's communist Prague, Jarka's family yielded to her firm hand, with which she steered them through the militaristic and charged Cold War climate.

Except for her son-in-law, super-genius.

After an unexpected explosion rocked the house, Jarka decided upon her son-in-law's fate: disarmament, sudden and covert. She had to get rid of everything that went BOOM without getting caught, by him or by the authorities.

If you like historical fiction from behind the Iron Curtain, you'll love the riveting suspense of "Just Blow It Up," another hilarious tale from the Cancelled Czech Files.
