About Catherine Cavendish

Cat first started writing when someone thrust a pencil into her hand. Unfortunately as she could neither read nor write properly at the time none of her stories actually made much sense. However as she grew up they gradually began to take form and at the tender age of nine or ten she sold her dolls house and various other toys to buy her first typewriter an Empire Smith Corona. She hasnt stopped bashing away at the keys ever since although her keyboard of choice now belongs to her laptop.The need to earn a living led to a varied career in sales advertising and career guidance but Cat is now the full-time author of a number of supernatural ghostly haunted house and Gothic horror novels and novellas including The Haunting of Henderson Close the Nemesis of the Gods trilogy Wrath of the Ancients Waking the Ancients Damned by the Ancients - The Devils Serenade Dark Avenging Angel The Pendle Curse Saving Grace Devine and Linden Manor. Her short story 'Miss Emmelines Mirror' recently appeared in the anthology Haunted Are These Houses.She lives north of Liverpool with her longsuffering husband and black cat (who remembers that her species used to be worshipped in ancient Egypt and sees no reason why that practice should not continue). When not slaving over a hot computer Cat enjoys rambling around stately homes circles of standing stones and travelling to favourite haunts such as Vienna and Orkney.
