About the author
Catherine Greer
8 books45 followersHello, I'm Catherine Greer. Thank you for being here, and for taking the time and care to share your thoughts on the books that I write with love and put out into the world. If you're a reader and / or a writer, you'll know that it takes years to write and bring a book into the world -- and our greatest hope is to find readers who enjoy resonate with a story.
My debut YA novel was sophisticated and felt very Atwood-esque, based on her compelling poem "Siren Song". I'm sorry that I didn't redeem the main character, Annie, who is an unreliable narrator and also a girl living with quite a lot of pain. I love her still, and all she went through in Love, Lie, Repeat.
My new novel is for adult women like me. It's called The Bittersweet Bakery Cafe, and I poured everything I am into this book. Baking, recipes, community, love, grit, determination and a willingness to keep going...no matter what the odds are. If you love UpLit or Feel Good Fiction, you might love this one. If you're a crime or thriller reader, or want to read on the dark side, it's probably not one for you.
But if you love to curl up in bed and read about a spirited woman who wins...and who learns to fall in love with HERSELF, then you might just love The Bittersweet Bakery Cafe. Please do try the family recipes in the book. They are all fantastic...my favourites are the chocolate cake and the classic carrot cake. And the cinnamon buns! You'll see quite a lot of readers making these recipes on Instagram, and I've loved seeing that.
If you want to hear from me every week, I write a free, upbeat and simple Sunday newsletter at LoveOurAge dot com.
Thank you for being here. Writers want to share their stories and their hearts with the world. I hope you feel that my books are "for you". If you want to share a critique of what I could be doing better, please do email me at my website. I'm a human learning how to improve, like all the rest of us, and probably a lot like you. Thank you for your support of my work in the world. Catherine x

I adore this latest book by Catherine. Catherine has an incredible ability to create a warm, supportive space for the reader. It feels as if she is sitting alongside me, gently prompting me to be a little bit kinder to myself and that it's ok to spend more energy on myself.

Definetly an inspiration

Small Steps Are Perfect is the book every woman needs. Catherine Greer explores the small, meaningful actions we can take to feel inspired, encouraged, and confident in following our dreams.
I’ve read it cover to cover, but I keep coming back to different chapters when I need them—my copy is filled with pink highlighter. The simple exercises and self-reflection questions are incredibly valuable, and I’ve gained more from this one book than from many personal development and coaching courses I’ve done over the years.
The writing is engaging, heartfelt, and full of wisdom, making you feel as if a trusted friend is speaking directly to you. It’s deeply thought-provoking in the best way, and if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not enough, this book is exactly what you need.
It has helped me on so many levels, and I know that by implementing more of its insights, I have the power to grow even further.
An absolute must-read.
