Catherine West-McGrath

My debut novel, Compassion-on-Sea, is about friendship, community, relationships, mental health, new beginnings and what happens when we find compassion. Compassion, and self-compassion, are themes which run through a lot of my writing.

My first book to be published, Ceecee's Treasure Chest, is a short illustrated children's book for ages 8 - 108. It's a story about finding our own inner treasures of Love, Hope and Joy. It's told through a conversation between Ceecee and her dad on the day she celebrates her twelfth birthday.

I've also written six poetry and lyric collections:

- Homesick for the North and Other Poetry

- Lapsed Capitalist: A Poetry Collection

- Optimistic Activist: Poetry and Verse

- British Values: A Poetry Collection

- What She Really Means and Other Poetry

- Try This, It Might Help: Poetry and Verse.
