Surprise! I signed a book deal.šŸŖ

Hi friends, and hello to my new friends from around the world this week. Iā€™m Catherine Greer, author, serial baker of lovely treats, Aussie-Canadian mum and wife, lover of books and making things beautiful.

Just now, just this morning on holiday at my favourite place in the world, I signed a book deal.

My new novel is for women just like us. The working title is BITTERSWEET BAKERY CAFEā€¦and itā€™s a funny, big-hearted story about all the things I love.

  • Beautiful Australian beaches ā€” the book is set at a fictional Hyams Beach in New South Wales.

  • Baking.

  • DIY renos on a shoestring.

  • Starting a business in the middle of your life.

  • Imperfect people who believe theyā€™ve failed (but find, after all, that they havenā€™t).

  • And a midlife woman who definitely ISNā€™T invisibleā€¦and learns to love all the people sheā€™s been given to love.

When you read BITTERSWEET BAKERY CAFE ā€” and oh! Oh! I canā€™t wait for you to read this book ā€” I hope you see the world through my eyes, and remember that you can start now, where you are, to find joy in everyday things.

This morning, after YEARS of hard work, fears, doubt, disappointment, reading a zillion books by other amazing writers and working and believing in myself even when I was far past the logical point of doing soā€¦Iā€™m going to give you a book I love with all my heart.

I hope you love it, too. Itā€™s coming out in 2025 and Iā€™ll keep you posted along the way.

Thank you, thank you for sharing my happiness with me today.

Love, Catherine x

PS. The fun stuff!
