Catherine MIchaels

Catherine Michaels writes the Gull Island Romance series, where coastal backdrops and small-town life spark unexpected sweet romance. A longtime North Carolinian, she brings humor, heart, and the texture of real life to every story.

Set in a close-knit coastal community, her Gull Island novels feature strong, relatable characters who’ve built lives, shouldered responsibilities, and still risk opening their hearts—and always with a hopeful, satisfying ending.

When she’s not writing, Catherine enjoys walks, workouts, and family time. She has a soft spot for gardening, good books, girlfriend lunches, and a love/hate relationship with Pilates.

She and her family live near Raleigh, North Carolina, where she escapes to her happy place on the coast as often she can.
