She thought about becoming a trapeze artist, but then she decided that acting would be her profession.Īt the age of eight, Cath’s friends and family more than likely doubted her resolve. Of course, as with most children, the author’s fixation with insects did not last. The author grew up in Bradford, and publishing wasn’t necessarily in the cards for her during those early years, mostly because Cath was so thoroughly entranced by insects that she was certain she would become an entomologist in the future. It would take several years before she finally reunited with her Irish birth family. She learnt later on that she had been adopted as a baby in England. She has also experimented with short stories and poems, though some people might know her best for ‘Blue Murder’, a television crime drama that premiered on ITV to rave reviews.Ĭath Staincliffe was born in 1956.
