Hello, I'm Catherine Greer. Thank you for being here, and for taking the time and care to share your thoughts on the books that I write with love and put out into the world. If you're a reader and / or a writer, you'll know that it takes years to write and bring a book into the world -- and our greatest hope is to find readers who enjoy resonate with a story.

My debut YA novel was sophisticated and felt very Atwood-esque, based on her compelling poem "Siren Song". I'm sorry that I didn't redeem the main character, Annie, who is an unreliable narrator and also a girl living with quite a lot of pain. I love her still, and all she went through in Love, Lie, Repeat.

I'm sorry that I didn't redeem the main character, Annie, who is an unreliable narrator and also a girl living with quite a lot of pain. I love her still, and all she went through in Love, Lie, Repeat.

My new novel is for adult women like me. It's called The Bittersweet Bakery Cafe, and I poured everything I am into this book. Baking, recipes, community, love, grit, determination and a willingness to keep going...no matter what the odds are. If you love UpLit or Feel Good Fiction, you might love this one. If you're a crime or thriller reader, or want to read on the dark side, it's probably not one for you.

But if you love to curl up in bed and read about a spirited woman who wins...and who learns to fall in love with HERSELF, then you might just love The Bittersweet Bakery Cafe. Please do try the family recipes in the book. They are all fantastic...my favourites are the chocolate cake and the classic carrot cake. And the cinnamon buns! You'll see quite a lot of readers making these recipes on Instagram, and I've loved seeing that.

If you want to hear from me every week, I write a free, upbeat and simple Sunday newsletter at LoveOurAge dot com.

Thank you for being here. Writers want to share their stories and their hearts with the world. I hope you feel that my books are "for you". If you want to share a critique of what I could be doing better, please do email me at my website. I'm a human learning how to improve, like all the rest of us, and probably a lot like you. Thank you for your support of my work in the world. Catherine x ...more

Happy Easter...a personal update!

Hello, friends!

Just dropping by to let you know I’m thinking of you right now. How are you doing with your ‘shelter in place’ and with all the changes in your part of the world?

If there’s sadness and loss, I’m sorry. Here in Australia, we seem to be doing a little better and I’m so grateful that our family is fine.

For anyone who misses the weekly encouragement from me, I’m blogging twice

Catherine Greer and 1 other person liked Bec's review of The Bittersweet Bakery Cafe: "Gave the sample of this a go on Libby and devoured the rest in two days. Maybe it was the Sydney setting that felt so familiar, but this was like a gooey choc chip cookie straight out of the oven for me. "

The Bittersweet Bakery Café is a brilliantly written, character-driven novel that I connected with on so many levels.
