Catherine Winther is defined by a colourful academic, professional, and personal history - enough, some might say, to write a book about. Instead, all of these adventures have guided her towards her dream job: creatrix/poetess/author.

Winther writes dark, unearthly erotic horror stories against rich, diverse canvases; wild forests, ancient cities, both of which have been known to slip into other dimensions. While her heroines are strong and otherworldly, her heroes are shadowy, wild, and passionate. Her stories cover a wide range of genders and relationships.

Winther resides in Melbourne and seeks inspiration and excitement through frequent globe trotting, which invariably leads to all kinds of wonderful trouble.
