About Cate

Cate Ray writes smart suspense thrillers full of empowering messages. Her stories pack an emotional punch, shining a light on power imbalances, inequality, secrets and fears. 

Before writing as Cate, she wrote 4 suspense novels as Cath Weeks. Her UK debut Blind was longlisted for the Waverton Good Read award and she was named an Author to Watch by ELLE. 

Born and raised near Bath, Somerset, UK, Cate wrote stories as a child and studied English at university. After winning first prize in a national writing competition, she set her heart on becoming an author. On the road to publication, she self-published 2 suspense novels and one of her prize-winning short stories was produced and broadcast by the BBC. 

Cate lived in London and Paris, before returning to Bath where she lives with her husband and two sons. When she's not writing, she loves chatting to people, conversations being her biggest source of inspiration.
