Author: Cathy Cade

After a career in libraries, I began writing in retirement and have had writing published in Scribble, Best of British, Tales of the Forest, Flash Fiction Magazine, The Poet, Writers Forum, and To Hull and Back Short Story Anthology, placed in four competitions, shortlisted in five and longlisted by the National Literacy Trust. (Always the bridesmaid…) My verse, "The Year Before Christmas", is available from Amazon and Smashwords as are my books, "Witch Way and other ambiguous stories", "The Godmother", and "Pond People." I live in the Cambridgeshire Fens most of the time, surrounded by flat but ever-changing fields. Other times I live across a garden fence from London’s historic Epping Forest.

That Which Is Write

May 23, 2022May 4, 2022 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 6 Comments

Confession: the first thing I learned about ‘that’ is that it never needs a comma before it. It sounded too good to be true! Now I try it for size in my sentence, and if it sounds right, I use it. This is, of course,  an over-simplification, but it works more often than not. It … Continue reading That Which Is Write

Those who have been following my recent posts will know I've been working on losing weight for a couple of months. I just asked Alexa (other smart speakers are available) for dance music in a bid to work off a cheese muffin (I did mention my approach to dieting was haphazard, didn't I?) The first … Continue reading Dance It Off

Losing It

April 29, 2022April 26, 2022 ~ Cathy Cade ~ 17 Comments

Weight, that is. Like many of us, I have fought a lifetime battle with my weight. It's mostly been a rearguard action. I suspect early attempts to lose weight set up my metabolism at a developmental age to fight back. I did at least learn from that. My youngest child at the age of twelve … Continue reading Losing It
