Cathryn Hein was born in South Australia's rural south-east. With three generations of jockeys in the family it was little wonder she grew up horse-mad, obtaining her first horse at age ten. So began years of pony club, eventing, dressage and showjumping. After finishing university, she worked in the agricultural and turf seeds industry. A posting to France took her overseas for three years, where she finally gave in to her lifelong desire to write. Her short fiction has been recognised in numerous contests, and published in Woman's Day. Now living in Newcastle, Cathryn writes full-time.
