Catherine Meyrick writes romantic historical fiction. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, but grew up in Ballarat, a large regional city steeped in history. Until recently she worked as a customer service librarian at her local library. She has a Master of Arts in history and is an obsessive genealogist.
She has written two novels set in Elizabethan England, Forsaking All Other and The Bridled Tongue. Her latest novel, Cold Blows the Wind, is set in Hobart Town, Tasmania between 1878 and 1885 and is based on a period in the lives of her great-great grandparents, both the children of transported convicts. Catherine is a descendant, through her father, of nine men and women transported to Van Diemen’s Land.
