Born and raised near Bath in Somerset, UK, Cate wrote stories as a child and studied English for her Bachelor’s degree. Unsure how to become a writer, she trained as an English teacher but left the course after winning first prize in a national writing competition. On the road to publication, she won a novel-writing competition, self-published 2 suspense novels, and her prize-winning short story was produced and broadcast by the BBC.
Cate lived in London and Paris, before returning home to Bath, where she lives with her husband and two sons.
