Spartanburg native and fiction writer Sheila Ingle is the author of the recent Hub City title Courageous Kate: A Daughter of the American Revolution. A fictional biography for young adults, this story combines history and folklore to create a compelling, memorable story of a heroine and young mother who served as a scout and a spy, and is credited with helping General Daniel Morgan defeat the British at the Battle of Cowpens.

Recently, Ingle was recognized at the South Carolina State Conference of the South Carolina Society of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution, where she was presented with the organization's 2007 Historic Preservation Award. This award recognizes individuals with exceptional contributions to historic preservation.

Ingle lives in Spartanburg with her husband, John Ingle, who contributed illustrations to the book. She is a graduate of Converse College, and a member of the Kate Barry Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Currently, she teaches English and education courses as an adjunct instructor at the University of South Carolina Upstate.
