Cat first started writing when someone thrust a pencil into her hand. Unfortunately, as she could neither read nor write properly at the time, none of her stories actually made much sense. However as she grew up, they gradually began to take form and, at the tender age of nine or ten, she sold her dolls' house, and various other toys to buy her first typewriter ? an Empire Smith Corona. She hasn't stopped bashing away at the keys ever since, although her keyboard of choice now belongs to her laptop.

The need to earn a living led to a varied career in sales, advertising and career guidance but Cat is now the full-time author of a number of supernatural, ghostly, haunted house and Gothic horror novels, novellas and short story collections, including: Those Who Dwell in Mordenhyrst Hall; The After-Death of Caroline Rand; Dark Observation; In Darkness, Shadows Breathe; The Garden of Bewitchment; The Haunting of Henderson Close; The Darkest Veil; and The Crow Witch and Other Conjurings.
