About Cate

Cate Ray is a British suspense author. She conveys voices that aren't often heard in fiction, writing with compassion and honesty about power imbalances, equality, 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, Cate wrote stories as a child and studied English at university. After she won first prize in a national writing competition, she set her heart on a career as an author. On the road to publication, she 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 to Bath where she lives with her husband and two sons. When she's not writing, she loves chatting to people and will always show up for community, friendship and coffee.
