CATHERINE FISHER, acclaimed poet and novelist, was born in Newport, Wales. She graduated from the University of Wales with a degree in English and a fascination for myth and history. She has worked in education and archaeology, and as a lecturer in creative writing at the University of Glamorgan. She is a Fellow of the Welsh Academy.

 

 

Of the Relic Master series, Catherine says, “This quartet of science fiction/fantasy novels are especially important to me; first because of the characters (Galen, Raffi, Carys, and the Sekoi, some of my favorite characters out of all those I’ve written about), and second because it was the first time I had really let rip and created a whole new world and everything in it.”
