Our Authors


At SugarCane Publishing, we're proud to represent diverse and distinctive voices in contemporary literature. Our authors bring their unique perspectives and narratives to our growing catalog.

Currently, we are proud to introduce:


K. T. Conte

K.T. Conte, a devotee of the written word and all things wild and fascinating, first discovered her passion for books at the tender age of two. Even then, as an avid reader, her journey to becoming an author was already on the horizon. An African-American author with a flair for breathing life into stories, K.T. holds a B.A. in English from Boston College and a law degree from Suffolk University Law School.

While she is a licensed and practicing attorney, K.T.'s first love has always remained books. The enchanting dance of words across a page and the powerful narratives they weave continues to captivate and inspire her every day. Over the years, she has shared her Massachusetts home with a delightful blend of characters - the enchanting specters in the closet, her loving husband Everett, a couple of mischievous building fairies, and her beloved daughter, Ella.

Awoke: the Unseen War

Her first book, "Awoke," is a new adult paranormal romance fantasy set in Boston and various realms. Awoke" introduces us to Katya, a young woman confronting mysterious visions and the unseen world of the dead and Grim Reapers. This compelling paranormal fantasy novel weaves a tale of self-discovery, forbidden romance, otherworldly challenges, and the struggle to maintain one's humanity amidst the chaos of the unseen.
