Katherine John

More information on Katherine John's crime books, films and projects can be found on the Katherine John pages at www.catrincollier.co.uk. Katherine the crime writer is a very much darker person than Catrin Collier. Interested in the human psyche, and the motivations behind criminal acts, she is fortunate to count police officers and pathologists among her friends. They have given her insights into their work and the trauma that is part of their daily lives. Trauma that would drive lesser people to insanity - and officers like her creations Peter Collins and his long suffering superior, Trevor Joseph to make highly inappropriate remarks at inappropriate times.

She has given many talks on all her books, creative writing, crime and the actual events that have inspired her. Prisons and prisoners are among her favourite venues and audiences because she learns far more from the inmates than they do from her.

Her crime book, By Any Name, written as Katherine John, starring Cengiz Dervis, Samira Mohammed Ali and Dan Richardson was filmed by Tanabi in her native Wales in 2014 and was released on Amazon Prime in 2016. The photographs and video are from the filming.
