Cathryn is the author of over forty novels. She writes psychological thrillers, psychological suspense, and the ALEXANDRA MALLORY series which features a sociopath you can’t help but love. Readers say they're “absolutely addicted” to the series.

The things that cause torment in real life—obsession and revenge, guilt and envy and longing—are endlessly fascinating in fiction and she never grows tired of writing stories about characters struggling to overcome the worst.

Cathryn also writes ghost stories because who knows what lies beyond our senses—The Haunted Ship Trilogy and the Madison Keith series of novellas.

Novel Excerpt: The Woman In the Vineyard

Napa Valley, California


Tess was acting as if Santa Claus was coming to town.


She’d placed a bottle of Black Mask’s flagship wine on the coffee table. Beside it was the largest flower vase I’d ever seen outside a hotel lobby, filled with eighteen white roses.

“So are twelve.”


“Everyone does twelve.”


“He won’t count

Best Offer Wins by Marisa Kashino is a wildly entertaining debut that turns the ruthless world of real estate into a battleground of obsession, deceit, and dark humor. Margo, our protagonist, is unhinged in the best way — snarky, desperate, and oddly" Read more of this review »

“I sat up and looked into his eyes filled with concern and love. Too often I forgot to look at his eyes, forgot that we loved each other as we tangled ourselves in the mental stimulation and challenges of our jobs, the details of everyday life, and diffused our connection with each other as we spent most of our free time with our friends and families.”
Cathryn Grant, The Good Neighbor

“There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”
Cathryn Grant, She's Listening

“You can’t read about someone’s life and click favorite and make one-sentence comments and call that a friendship.”
Cathryn Grant, Faceless

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..”
John Milton, Paradise Lost

“The most important lesson I’ve learned as a writer is that practice of the art is something I must exercise every day. The reason for this constant training is that any idea worth discovering is bigger than my head. The twists and turns, story and plot, characters and character development of a novel cannot be held in a single thought or even in a train of thought. This novel takes up a lot of space and needs room to breathe and evolve.”
Walter Mosley, Twelve Steps Toward Political Revelation
