Catherine George was born in Wales, and early developed a passion for reading which eventually fuelled her compulsion to write. Marriage to an engineer led to nine years in Brazil, but on his later travels the education of her son and daughter kept her in the UK. And instead of constant reading to pass her lonely evenings she began to write the first of her romantic novels. When not writing and reading she loves to cook, listen to opera, browse antique shops and walk the Labrador. Many of her novels feature the fictional town of Pennington. She says:

Pennington, my favourite location, is my own creation. Having lived near two attractive county town in the past, I combine the best features of both, not least the classical buildings an d pump-rooms from the Regency era, when spas were all the rage. My serene, fictional town has wide streets, teashops. public gardens ablaze with flowers, irresistible shops with elegant clothes and jewellery, others with bargains in antique furniture and porcelain. A centre of thriving business, yet set in rich agricultural land, Pennington is the dream combination of prosperity ans picturesque charm.

Catherine George writes for Mills & Boon in its various Romance imprints. In the USA her titles are published in the Presents and Harlequin Romance series.
