About Cat:
Born in 1977 in Mowbray, Cat spent her early childhood in Cape Town before her family relocated to Johannesburg. Since then she’s bounced back and forth between the two cities, with occasional stays in Knysna and Nottingham.
After dropping out of numerous graphic design courses, she finally realised that design held no real interest and she took up waitering while trying to figure out what, exactly, she should be doing.
As it turned out, the service industry sucked almost a decade of her life away before she finally worked it out. Luckily she had the Sea Point library to see her through the pain.
Now she lives and plays in Jo’burg, doing the things that make her happy: writing, hooping, reading, belly dancing, and hanging out with the sprogs.
Her Work:
Her short story This Reflection Of Me appeared in Sean Wallace’s Jabberwocky 3 collection and is available online as a teaser for the anthology.
She prefers to concentrate her efforts on her novels, and is currently playing around in two worlds – The Irene-verse, urban fantasy about Irene Kerry, a Jo’burg girl who dicovers that her dead mother left her more than just unpacked boxes, but a whole magical heritage, and the hob-verse, which isn’t actually about vampires at all.
She is represented by Suzie Townsend at Fine Print Lit.
