It’s why I studied English Literature at university. What a luxury to read novels for three years!
After a few false starts, I was taken on as a trainee reporter by a local newspaper where I worked very happily for several years.
I love old buildings and the stories they tell. I’m very lucky that my current work as press officer for a heritage charity allows me to visit and explore some amazing, inspiring places, including the wonderful Wiltons Music Hall in the East End.
Kitty Peck and the Music Hall Murders (published by Faber and Faber) is partly based on that building. ’Kitty’ is my first book - the first 6000 words won a writing competition run by Faber and Faber and Stylist magazine. Later this year Templar will publish my first first book for children The Jade Boy, written under my maiden name Cate Cain.
As I hope you can tell, I am passionate about history and about London in particular.
I was born in the City, at St Bartholomew’s Hospital ’Barts’, within the sound of Bow Bells - so I really am a true-born cockney.
