She is known for including pyramids in several of her novels, but has revealed on an online question board that "...it was a joke based on the book covers! Hummer and Set Piece coincidentally featured pyramids on their covers, so as a gag I included a pyramid in SLEEPY, which also ended up on the cover.. Some of Orman's favourite Who authors are Paul Cornell, Ben Aaronovitch, Lance Parkin, Paul Leonard, and Lloyd Rose.

Some of Orman's favourite Who authors are Paul Cornell, Ben Aaronovitch, Lance Parkin, Paul Leonard, and Lloyd Rose. Kate Orman has noted that the Set Piece was one of the more difficult novels to write: "Set Piece was the hardest thing to write I’ve ever done. It just seemed to take forever. There were several reasons. One was that I didn’t do my homework before starting — unlike Hummer, I hadn’t worked the plot out rigorously before starting. Another reason was Ben Aaronovitch's very helpful suggestions (I brilliantly forgot to thank him in the book). I rang him up all a-tremble, only to discover I’d gotten him out of the shower! When I rang back, he told me all sorts of amazing things about the back story for the Doctor which was being developed during the Cartmel era (lots of it is in Time’s Crucible and Transit). It was fascinating — I still have all the notes — but it necessitated a major re-plot of the last third of the novel! I think that threw me — I was confused for the rest of the book..." In 2005, Kate was the creative consultant of the official Australian and New Zealand Doctor Who - Inside the TARDIS live stage tour. She is also a Wiccan, and often includes bits of Wicca-style magic and mythological references in her work.
