About this author

edit data

Cat lives in Upper Hutt, New Zealand, with her husband and children.
She is a Backspace.org, International Thriller Writers, Inc, Kiwi Writers, and Masters of Horror.

The idea for her first Conway novel, Killerbyte, came about after Cat received a string of death threats while co-running a poetry chat room, back in the days of MSN chat. The thought that people could get so nasty online fascinated her.

Cat is currently writing the 5th book in The _Byte series. Soundbyte.
