Cat Nicolaou

Biography

Cat Nicolaou lives with her family and many pets on a small island in Greece. She enjoys strolls by the seaside where she gets all her inspiration for her romantic stories. As an ever-romantic herself, she likes writing stories with a happy ending, though she does torment her characters before they find a happy resolution. She also enjoys riding her motorcycle because it makes her feel free. Do not, therefore, be surprised if her second book includes a biker.

Her debut novella "When Time Comes" was published in February 2015. A story set on the island of Rhodes where a famous rock star and an artist find love that can last forever.

Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?

Surprisingly, I am not one of those authors who have been writing since childhood. I must admit that it is quite recent that I finally decided to do it. What I have done since childhood, though, is to make stories in my mind. I was always afraid to let people see my writings, so I never wrote my thoughts down, never kept a journal or a diary in my life. Everything stayed in my head. But "When Time Comes" life has a way to show you what needs to be done and I finally realised that I had to put my stories on paper and let people know me.

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?

I am from Greece and I grew up surrounded by crystal clear blue waters and beautiful beaches. I live in a peaceful area and I enjoy nature around me. It is therefore not surprising that I like to write romantic stories. I have lived in an idyllic setting all my life.
