About the Author
Catherine Balavage Yardley
I have been writing since I was in single figures. I write women’s fiction because I believe women have the right to have their stories told in all of their messy, complex, glory. Ember is my first novel. I live in London with my husband and children. I write under Catherine Balavage and Catherine Yardley.
I am also the editor-in-chief of Frost Magazine which I started and run. As a freelance writer I have written for The Bookseller, Writer’s and Artist’s Yearbook, Metro UK, Huffpost and Writing Magazine. I have also featured in The Guardian, Newsweek and Glamour.
