Catherine Pugh was born in Durham, in the North East of the United Kingdom. She grew up writing poetry and short stories to escape from the challenge of everyday life as a "clumsy" child. At the age of 36 she was diagnosed with Dyspraxia. She is currently in her 3rd year at Durham University training to be a Uk Primary School teacher and is also a qualified ESL teacher. Catherine spent two years teaching English from the comfort of her bedroom to children in Beijing!
Catherine lives at home with her partner, two teenage sons and dog.
