Catherine Madina

I've had such a fun life though it hasn't always been easy!  I lived for six unforgettable years in Arabia with my husband and children,  and have trudged, hobbled and sweltered from Parthenon to Persepolis.'I love the colour and excitement of markets and bazaars, bargains, TKMaxx,  kids holding my hand, patting dogs. men in hi-viz, the smell of petrol and new magazines, French perfume and coffee. All of this seems to have ended up in my stories. Covid put an end to travel but it gave me the leisure to write.
