About the Author
Hello and thank you for visiting my author page! After ten years of writing romantic comedy under the pseudonym 'Jane Costello', I came up with the idea for 'You Me Everything' and knew it would be different from anything I'd written before. It was my agent who suggested I should change my name to 'Catherine Isaac' but, after building up a lovely, loyal following in the UK, I don't mind admitting that the idea gave me a few sleepless nights.In the event 'You Me Everything' became by far my biggest writing success to date: it's been translated into 24 languages, won the Popular Romantic Fiction award at the RoNAs and a movie is in development by Lionsgate and Temple Hill. My next book, 'Messy, Wonderful Us' is coming soon.The novels I now write are about family secrets, exploring some difficult themes but with compassion and humour.I love hearing from anyone who's read them, so please do write an Amazon review if you're so inclined - or get in touch with me direct, on Twitter @CatherineIsaac_ , Facebook @Catherineisaacauthor, or Instagram @catherineisaacauthorYou'll find those accounts full of book news, but lots about my gang too - me, my husband Mark, our three boys and dog Maisie.I still live in Liverpool, where I started my writing career as a trainee news reporter on the Liverpool Echo back in the late 1990s, a time when life-long friendships were forged over deadlines and quite a lot of beer. These days, as well as my writing, I also love running, walking in the Lake District and baking cakes of variable quality.
