Catherine Jones

Catherine Jones is a best-selling romantic novelist, also writing as Kate Lace and Fiona Field.

She went to one, all-girls’ school from 4 -18 and left to join the army where the ratio of men to women (500:1) was much more satisfactory. In the next few years she met her husband, moved countless times and discovered extreme sports.

When, after eight years of marriage, she fell pregnant and had to give her job up, she produced three children in four-and-a-half years and wrote a book taking the micky out of being an army wife. Luckily even the army liked the book so her husband kept his job until he decided that 17 moves were more than enough and it was time to stop.

Catherine now writes romantic novels (she has had 22 published), lives in her own home in Oxfordshire where she has put down roots, got to know her neighbours and looks after her cats, kids and husband (not listed in any order of priority). She is vice chairman of the Romantic Novelists’ Association and captained their team in University Challenge – The Professionals in 2005.

As our featured author, Catherine has kindly answered a few questions for us about books that have entertained and inspired her and her work as an author.

Katie Fforde

Katie Fforde is a popular best-selling author of modern day romance books. She believes that falling in love is the best thing in the world, and wants all her characters to experience it, and her readers to share their stories.

Katie first started writing when her mother gave her a writing kit for Christmas, and once she started she just couldn’t stop. She has now written 28 novels. Her first, Living Dangerously, was published in 1995 and her most recent, A Springtime Affair, was published in paperback in January this year.

Each of Katie’s books explores a different profession or background and her research has helped her to bring these to life. She has been a porter in an auction house, tried her hand at pottery, refurbished furniture, delved behind the scenes of a dating website, and has even been on a Ray Mears survival course.

Katie has kindly answered a few questions for us about books that have entertained and inspired her and her work as an author. Read the interview here.
