Cat Clarke was born in Zambia and brought up in Edinburgh and Yorkshire, which has given her an accent that tends to confuse people.
Cat went to university in Edinburgh where she read a bit, wrote nothing, and dreamed of never having to work for a living. After leaving university she tried her hand at a few things, before getting a job in publishing. She started off marketing children's books, and then moved on to writing and editing them. Cat is now back in Scotland, writing books, wearing hats, fussing cats and being distracted by the most handsome dog in the universe.
LOST. When six-year-old Laurel Logan was abducted, the only witness was her younger sister. Faith's childhood was dominated by Laurel's disappearance - from her parents' broken marriage and the constant media attention to dealing with so-called friends who only ever wanted to talk about her sister.
FOUND. Thirteen years later, a young woman is found in the garden of the Logans' old house, disorientated and clutching the teddy bear Laurel was last seen with. Laurel is home at last, safe and sound. Faith always dreamed of getting her sister back, without ever truly believing it would happen. But a disturbing series of events leaves Faith increasingly isolated and paranoid, and before long she begins to wonder if everything that's lost can be found again...
Cat has written non-fiction books about exciting things like cowboys, sharks and pirates, and now writes YA novels.
She lives in Edinburgh with a couple of cats, Jem and Scout, who spend their days plotting to spit up fur balls at the most inconvenient times.
She likes cheese A LOT, especially baked camembert.
