More About the Author

CATRIN COLLIER/KATHERINE JOHN/CARO FRENCH/KATHERINE HARDY -
My most bemused moment. When someone commented, "It will be wonderful for Pontypridd when you die." (Many of my novels are set in the town)
My best "putting in place moment". When someone joined a queue at a signing session in Waterstones and waited ten minutes to say, "I don't want a book, love, but as you're here for two hours, look after my shopping for me." - I did.
My proudest moment, when I discovered my Catrin Collier novel, One Last Summer, based on my Prussian born mother's wartime diaries was named recommended reading for adults by the Holocaust Day Memorial Trust.
My new novel, Bobby's Girl, set in America during in 1968 - the era of the anti-Vietnam War and, Civil Rights movements and student protests will be published in the autumn of 2011.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hearts of Gold, April 15, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Hearts of Gold (Pontypridd) (Paperback)

A colourful story set in Pontypridd during the Depression. Characters are realistic and individual. Having spent several years in Ponty in the mid 1980's I recognised the names of places - the park, the Common and the pubs!! So much of it is still there.

Accurate location descriptions makes the book all the more believeable. Highly recommended!
