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.

Catherine says,

'I am the first author to speak on Saturday and will introduce myself and my books, my journey to being an author and my general background in the literary world.'

LIZ ROSENFIELD AT THE MIDDLEWICH LITERARY FESTIVAL 2014 (ARCHIVED)

I have been asked to join the Read-athon at the Literary Festival in Middlewich Library on  Saturday starting at 11.15!
I am delighted to have been asked, having spent many hours reading to and encouraging kids to read, and  I am very excited.
 Now what shall I read?
I am expecting children around and think my very favourite kids' poem of all times that I've been sharing all through the years of my teaching career has to be the wonderful 'Chocolate Cake.'  by Michael Rosen.

I love chocolate cake.
And when I was a boy
I loved it even more.

Sometimes we used to have it for tea
and Mum used to say,
'If there's any left over
you can have it to take to school
tomorrow to have at playtime.'
And the next day I would take it to school
wrapped up in tin foil
open it up at playtime
and sit in the corner of the playground
eating it,
you know how the icing on top
is all shiny and it cracks as you
bite into it,
and there's that other kind of icing in
the middle
and it sticks to your hands and you
can lick your fingers
and lick your lips
oh it's lovely.
yeah.

From Chocolate Cake' by Michael Rosen

Note: The Read-a-thon takes place in Middlewich Library from 10am until 12 noon Various members of the community will be reading for 15 minutes from their favourite books.
