Catherine Webb

Catherine's first book published under the Claire North pen name was The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, which became a word-of-mouth bestseller and was shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award. The follow-up, Touch, was described by the Independent as ‘little short of a masterpiece’, and their next novel The Sudden Appearance of Hope won the 2017 World Fantasy Award for Best Novel. The End of the Day was shortlisted for the 2017 Sunday Times/PFD Young Writer of the Year Award. Their fifth book under the Claire North pseudonym, 84K, received a special citation in the Philip K Dick Awards 2019. Their trilogy about Penelope begins with Ithaca (A Sunday Times Fiction Book of the Year).

Catherine currently works as a theatre lighting designer and is a fan of big cities, urban magic, Thai food and graffiti-spotting. They live in London.
