Catherine MacPhail (25 January 1946 – 28 August 2021[1]) was a Scottish-born author. Although she had had other jobs, she always wanted to be a writer but she didn't think she would be suited to it.[2] Her first published work was a sort of "twist-in-the-tale" story in Tit-Bits, followed by a story in the The Sunday Post. After she had won a romantic story competition in Woman's Weekly, she decided to concentrate on romantic novels, but after writing two, she decided that it wasn't right for her.[3] In addition to writing books for children around their teens, she also wrote for adults, she is the author of the BBC Radio 2 series, My Mammy and Me.[4]
