She started her first novel under her desk when she worked as an advertising copywriter and, not surprisingly, was fired. With time on her hands she persevered with her novels, which happily flourished. Catherine writes with the nearest pen in exercise books, either in the garden or on a sofa. Home is a rural spot in Ireland which she shares with her family and a menagerie of horses, cows, chickens and dogs. One Day in May is her eleventh book.
