About Catrin Collier

Catrin Collier is an English author of romance, historical fiction, and crime novels. She is the daughter of a Welsh father and a Prussian refugee mother. Catrin’s first historical book, Hearts of Gold, was adapted as a mini-television series by the BBC in 2003. Her crime novel, By Any Name, written under the pen name Katherine John, was adapted for the big screen in 2017 and aired on Amazon Prime. Catrin resides in the Gower Peninsula near Swansea with her family. Long Road to Baghdad is the first novel in a similar series. In 1914, the Middle East was a region of growing unease. At the heart of this was Mesopotamia, where Lieutenant Harry Downe, a British officer, found himself at a crossroads. His mission was to deal with Ibn Shalan, a rebellious Bedouin Sheikh. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Beggars and Choosers Books series, Catrin Collier has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
