My debut romance novel, Cast Away, was just released by eXtasy Books. I am looking to build my fan base, join the conversation about good books, support other authors, and be inspired for new books. My motto is Keep Living, Keep Loving! and I want to keep doing that myself and inspire others to do the same.
I was born and grew up in a village in the county of Cheshire in the UK. I had a good childhood. There were woods to play in and blackberries and other fruit to gather in the right season. With many good friends, I enjoyed a freedom few children have nowadays.
I started writing seriously when I retired. Prior to that, I had begun writing what eventually became my first novel, The Wolf Pack, but didn’t have time to finish it while I was working. I now have six novels and a recipe book published, and a seventh almost ready.
As well as fantasy and historical novels, I also write poetry but haven’t had any published. My poetry is of the traditional kind, not like the modern ones, that I describe as prose broken into lines. (Sorry any modern poets out there!)
In my free time, I enjoy walking, and also such crafts as card making, cross-stitch, crochet, and tatting. I paint and also play the piano. Well, actually, a synthesiser my son gave me as he now has a newer one! Cooking is another of my ‘hobbies’ and I like trying new recipes.

To rescue him, Pettic has to enter four realms, each associated with one of the four elements, and retrieve a gem. The catch is that he cannot return without it. The 'gate' will not open.
Can he manage to find the gems? And how will he convince others which of the two identical men is the real prince?

My love of horror and science fiction in both the written word and movie began with my mother who loved them as well. It was instilled in my fragile psyche at the tender age of five although, I did not know it at the time. She took me in our Black Ford Fairlane to see Romero’s Night of the Living Dead at the local drive-in. To this day I remember cowering in the backseat asking “is it day yet, is it day yet?” Mom and I had some belly laughs about that for many years before the bell tolled and called her home. The nightmares eventually subsided and as my childhood moved on I found myself drawn to all things scary and scifi. Luckily, she had books by Phillip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov and Harlan Ellison among many others just hanging around the house. I soon found the depraved minds of King and Koontz to my liking and of course other writers as well. It wasn’t long that I became a fan of Hammer Studios and actors like Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price and the lists could go on. Suffice to say, I was hooked. In my teens I began to write short stories and poems, some of which I had updated and you can find in my first book “A Collection of Dark Short Stories and Poetry.” However, life happens and I had to put away such dreams, until after mom passed and found an old stained and tattered story of mine in a box in her garage, it was then that I felt the barest little warmth begin to surge within me. It took a while for me to understand what it was, it was mom letting me know I could still have my dream.

Catherine McCarthy grew up in the valleys of South Wales where she went on to teach for almost three decades. She was inspired to write from a young age, having fallen in love with story-telling after being ‘shown the light’ by her mother who had the tradition of oral story-telling down to a fine art.
Her most recent publication is a collection of short stories for adults entitled Door and other twisted tales which explores the darker side of magical realism. An absolute joy to write, the collection visits a variety of locations and incidents throughout history and imagines them affected by supernatural forces or creatures of myth.
Her other published works include Hope Cottage, a dark and mysterious family saga of triumph over adversity, the proceeds of which she donates to thebraintumourcharity.org in memory of her mother, and The Gatekeeper’s Apprentice, a fantasy adventure for middle-grade children.
Her current work in progress is a magical realism novel in which the main character is a young girl with Down’s syndrome and big ambitions.
She now lives with her husband in an inspirational old Welsh cottage in West Wales where she writes, reads, sews and walks the wonderful coast path.
Catherine believes that storytelling is probably the oldest and wisest art form known to man, though to make it compelling, it needs to be crafted with a bit of magic.
