Who am I?

I’m Catherine. I’m a writer from Cornwall.

In my day-job I seek out amazing books from around the world for the ShelterBox Book Club and growing up at The Troubadour Coffee House in London I was bathed in glorious diverse music, food, and culture. I feel more human when I find connection through art and I delight in the weird and the wonderful.

To create the world we all want to live in we have to believe it’s possible. I’m trying to cultivate within myself a stubborn sense of optimism. Join me as I collect the reasons for it.

To begin with I’ll send a monthly summary of beautiful and wonderful books, music, culture, recipes, and hopefully musings. I’ll also be sprinkling in some of my short stories on an ad-hoc basis.
