Catherine has written fifteen bestselling novels and is translated into eighteen languages. She has sold over 3 million books worldwide.The first of these novels Catherine started under the desk when she worked as an advertising copywriter. She was duly fired. With time on her hands, she persevered with the novels, which happily flourished.In the early days she produced a baby with each book – but after three – stuck to the writing as it was less painful.She writes with her favorite pen in note books, either in the garden or on a sofa.Home is a rural spot on the Hertfordshire border, which she shares with her family and a menagerie of horses, cows, chickens, and dogs, which at the last count totaled eighty-seven beating hearts, including her husband. Some of her household have walk-on parts in her novels, but only the chickens would probably recognize themselves.All her novels are published by Penguin Random House internationally, and by No Shooz Publishing in America.
