Cathryn Hein is a best-selling author of rural romance and romantic adventure novels, a Romance Writers of Australia Romantic Book of the Year finalist with Santa and the Saddler, and a regular Australian Romance Reader Awards finalist.
A South Australian country girl by birth, Cathryn loves nothing more than a rugged rural hero who’s as good with his heart as he is with his hands, which is probably why she writes them! Her romances are warm and emotional, and feature themes that don’t flinch from the tougher side of life but are often happily tempered by the antics of naughty animals. Her aim is to make you smile, sigh, and perhaps sniffle a little, but most of all feel wonderful.
Cathryn lives in Newcastle, Australia with her partner of man

Hi Maria, and thanks so much for getting in contact, and for reading my books!
My next full-length release will be THE COUNTRY GIRL, out in late December but I'm also planning a novella release later in the year (date not yet final). But I have a backlist of 10 books so plenty to keep going with, if you want to chase more up. You'll find the full list on my website here: https://www.cathrynhein.com/ If you'd like to be kept informed about new releases, plus have access to special offers, sneak peeks, giveaways and other goodies, including a couple of free short stories to enjoy over a cuppa, then subscribing to my newsletter will keep you up to date.
I hope that helps. Please don't hesitate to get in contact if you need any further info, and thanks again for reading!
Warm regards,
Cathryn(less)

My Favourite Reads of September 2026

Welcome to My Favourite Reads, the blog series where I share the books I’ve enjoyed most across the past month and get a huge kick when you share yours.

September wasn’t a bad reading month. I read six books and only one of them hasn’t made it to My Favourite Reads, which is pretty good going. And the book that didn’t make the list—a short contemporary romance—wasn’t a total dud. It just wasn’t exc
