As a child her family moved to Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, where she was educated, after which she went to University in Brighton obtaining a degree in Mathematics.
When she entered the world of work, Cate’s writing interests were put on hold until, in 1995 she became a management consultant, and found time when working away from home to return to her hobby.
All her books have been written in a variety of locations which include aeroplanes, trains and hotel rooms and across four continents. She is still a management consultant, now most usually working for the UK Government.
In 2006 Cate was diagnosed with Breast Cancer which prompted her to take her writing to a new level and publish some of her work. She has published three books and is in the process of writing the fourth.
Cate also writes a regular blog and has an active Twitter feed
