KATE HOWARTH was born in Sydney, Australia in 1950 and grew up in the suburbs of Darlington and Parramatta,and far western New South Wales. She was forced to leave school at fourteen, due to hardship, and embarked on a didactic education that was followed by an eclectic career, finally working her way to a position where she co-owned and operated Manpower Personnel, a leader in its field.  

Following a fall from a train she was forced to retire and began writing her memoir Ten Hail Mary’s in 2002, which in 2008 was short listed the David Uniapon Award for Indigenous Writers. In 2010, it was shortlisted for the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award, and won the Age Non-Fiction Book of the Year. Kate is proud of her Aboriginal heritage and is connected to the Wiradjuri and Wonnarua people of New South Wales.

The much anticipated sequel to Ten Hail Marys, titled ‘Settling Day’ published by the University of Queensland Press, is due for release in March 2015.

ABOUT 'Ten Hail Mary's' by Kate Howarth...
Abandoned by her mother, almost at birth, Kate was raised by her volatile grandmother and various indigenous relatives.  Abandoned again by her grandmother when she was just 14 year old, Kate was left to fend for herself. At 15 she became pregnant and was sent to St. Margaret’s Home for Unwed girls, in Sydney.  When she refused to give up her child for adoption she was subjected to relentless intimidation that was tantamount to torture.

Ten Hail Mary’s is a remarkable story of courage and determination survival and hope. Although at times shocking in her frankness, Howarth is never self pitying of bitter. Ten Hail Marys went on to win the Age Non-fiction Book of the Year 2010 and was instrumental in opening the door to a full National Senate Inquiry into forced adoption practices in Australia, that resulted in an apology from the Catholic Church and the Commonwealth Govt of Australia.

KAYD CURRIER

Actor/ Model/Stuntsman Kayd Currier is a curious study in the polarity of opposites. While maintaining an easy, natural, rugged American masculinity, he is simultaneously emotionally sensitive and open, with a developed feminine side. The dichotomy of contrasts creates a most interesting male archetype—the sensitive tough guy with the heart and soul of a poet–strong yet vulnerable. The Brad Pitt visual references are obvious, as well as the Fallen Angel model that Heath Ledger and Kurt Cobain personified, without the victimized tragedy. With his quintessential American mannerisms, good looks and boyish charm, he easily represents the new order of a young Hollywood star in a hip and contemporary way.

Originally from the New England area, Kayd had first lived in Boston, then in Arizona before coming out to the West Coast to pursue an acting career. Born July 22, 1983 in Derry, New Hampshire to Heather Angers, a nurse and to Richard Currier, an avid motorcycle rider who would later operate his own machine shops, Kayd was placed on a motorbike from age one, and was riding his own first motorbike at three years old!
