Autorenporträt

Catherine Doyle grew up beside the Atlantic Ocean in the west of Ireland. Her love of reading began with great Irish myths and legends, and fostered in her an ambition to one day write her own. The Storm Keeper's Island was her debut middle-grade novel and was inspired by her real-life ancestral home of Arranmore Island - where her grandparents grew up - and the adventures of her many seafaring ancestors. Catherine lives in Galway.
