It was announced in May 2020 that The Cait Morgan Mysteries have been optioned for TV by Free@Last TV, the UK-based production company which makes the international hit Agatha Raisin series for ACORN TV. Born, raised, and educated in Wales, Cathy enjoyed a successful career in marketing and training across Europe before migrating to Vancouver, Canada. Her eclectic tastes in art, music, food, and drink have been developed during her decades of extensive travels, which she continues – whenever possible.

In 2019 her standalone novel of psychological suspense set in Wales, The Wrong Boy, became a No.1 amazon bestseller, won the IPPY bronze medal (for e-books, regional fiction) and was a finalist in the Suspense & Thriller category of the International Book Awards.
