Kate McMullan, nacida el 16 de enero de 1947, en St. Louis, Missouri, desarrolló un amor por la lectura a una edad temprana. Pasaba horas a la vez leyendo libros, a menudo con un perro o gato en su regazo. La pasión de McMullan por la lectura la llevó a convertirse en una autora de libros para niños muy prolífica, con más de cien libros en su haber.
McMullan es posiblemente mejor conocida por su serie Dragon Slayers' Academy, así como por su aclamada serie "I STINK!", ilustrada por su esposo, Jim McMullan. Estos libros han inspirado "THE STINKY & DIRTY SHOW", que actualmente está transmitiendo su segunda temporada en Amazon. Además de estas series, McMullan ha escrito libros para animar a los nuevos lectores, como la serie Fluffy the Classroom Guinea Pig y Pearl & Wagner, que se centra en una amistad de conejo-ratón.
McMullan también ha escrito la serie de libros infantiles Dragon Slayers Academy para atraer a los lectores rezagados con alboroto medieval, chistes knock-knock malos y un cerdo que habla en pig latín. Para lectores de grado medio, ha escrito diez libros Myth-O-Mania, que narran mitos griegos desde la perspectiva de Hades. Sus libros ilustrados más recientes incluyen "I'm Tough!", "How Do You Go to Sleep?", y "As Warm as the Sun", que presentan a los French bulldogs de McMullan, Toby y Pinkie. McMullan, quien creció en St. Louis, ahora reside en la ciudad de Nueva York.
