Author of adult paranormal romance series The Redcliffe Novels, Catherine Green was raised on books from a young age, and has happy memories of Saturday mornings spent in her small local library, devouring the contents of the shelves. Aside from the Redcliffe novels, Catherine has short stories published in YA anthologies Devils, Demons and Werewolves, and The Mirador Fantasmagoria, and she writes articles for websites including Write and Share UK. Catherine is also a freelance copywriter and copy editor.
Catherine has always been fascinated by the supernatural world, and it feels natural for her to write about vampires, werewolves, witches and other mystical creatures in her stories. She is a mother of two (plus dog), with an interest in crafts and social history. Catherine practises Law of Attraction and truly believes that everyone can achieve their dreams if they can step beyond the fear of social conformity.

Who am I? This question is beginning to nag at me lately. I am Catherine Green. I am a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend, and an author. This last one has been sorely neglected recently in my daily schedule. My life has become a chaotic cycle of breastfeeding, changing nappies, bathing and washing…

Becoming a mother has been a massive learning curve for me. I know that sounds cliché, but it is the absolute truth. It wasn’t so long ago that I used to commute to work full time and everything revolved around me and my then fiancé (now husband). We agreed that we wanted to have children,…

This is a question that echoes in my mind almost every day. It has become something of a mantra I suppose, and I am not even conscious of it most of the time. When I was at school I was constantly told by the ‘grown-ups’ that I must choose a career and work towards achieving…

I took a brave decision this morning and decided to hang out my washing to dry outside in our garden. Stepping through the back door, I could feel moisture in the air. It didn’t look good for drying my clothes but suddenly that didn’t matter. I was transported back in time, to sweet memories of…

You might have a little understanding of where my mind is at the moment, as I am totally immersed in motherhood, and I find that it naturally connects with the traditional idea of being a housewife. This is where I begin to squirm. I do not like calling myself a housewife, and I always used…

I would like to share a little advice about meditation when you have small children. This is something I am learning to deal with. I got into meditation several years ago when I properly embraced my spiritual path. I used to think that to meditate properly you had to sit on an upright chair in…

We will soon be celebrating the Christian festival of Easter, but at this time of year we also recognise the change of season as we move from Winter into Spring. Traditionally this was the time when country dwellers would step out of their homes and rejoice as the sunshine and warmer weather returned after a…

Recently I found time to watch the Hollywood film Alice in Wonderland, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. I loved it, of course. Well, who couldn’t love a Tim Burton film? I thought it was wonderfully dark and dramatic, a faithful retelling of a classic children’s story, but still…

Today is International Women’s Day. I am very keen to be involved with women’s issues, but there is such a broad range of topics that I have to pick an area of interest. I am focusing on women in business, mainly because it is something I am exploring at the moment. I find it incredible…

I have been pondering a lot of things recently that relate to the nature of human behaviour. What is it that motivates people to do what they do? My first thoughts would be religion, a sense of righteousness, or moral obligations. We learn from our peers. The most influential of these will most likely be…

I have been through a turbulent time in terms of my moods and emotions. I have an idea of the cause, and it is in part due to domestic circumstances and my own ‘tortured’ creative mind (I say that very loosely, as I really have nothing to complain about). Anyway, I feel compelled to write…
