Cat is a woman of a sensible age (but that in no way implies that she is sensible). Cat lives in Upper Hutt, New Zealand, with her husband and children. She is a long time member of Backspace.org, (an online writers group) and is very active on MySpace, as are her two main characters (Ellie Conway and Mac Connelly), which is both fun and challenging. In the last few years her short stories have appeared in ThrillerUK, Mystericale, Bewildering stories, T-zero, The Writers Post Journal and Conceit Magazine.

Reading, movies, music. Depending on my mood I enjoy tie-dying and sewing. I've even been known to knit -but not often these days.

Casino Royale, The spy who loved me, The plum series, Garden of Beasts, Situation Sabotage, Inside out girl, Blood from Blood, Terrorism Explained, Ghost Strasse, On the beach, The fox and hound.

Killerbyte: When a poetic psychopath starts hunting and killing patrons in Special Agent Ellie Conway's chat room, Ellie finds herself embroiled in an invisible killer's twisted plan and battling to keep her sanity. Terrorbyte: When Special Agent Ellie Conway launches the Butterfly Foundation to help the children of mentally ill parents, she never envisaged it becoming a smörgåsbord for a monster. Exacabyte: The surfacing of the child trafficker known as Hawk in New Zealand ,hauls Supervising Special Agent Ellie Conway out of her comfort zone and into a terrifying situation as she hurries to find missing children.

The biggest influence on my writing would have to be Janet Evanovich. With more immediate and tangible influence coming in the last year or so via Graeme Johns.
