Catherine W. Scott
Author
I moved to southern seaside France to rejoin my daughter's family in 2018, opening a new world. The exquisite light would be enough to draw one here! Then the Atlantic, the killer cuisine, the fun welcoming hearts, my family connections . . . ou la la.
The creative juices of stories have always come from beyond me, positioning a foot between the shoulder blades where they won't be denied. Agonizing joyful hours later, there's a story, even a book. That's just how it works in me. My earlier books are available on Amazon at (link)
I hope this story delights readers from 8 to 80 because it was great fun to write. More adventures to come from this pear-shaped guy Yuri so keep watch. Thanks so much for your interest.

Her illustrative style perfectly portrays a wide spectrum of human emotions, from the horrors of war to the beauty of love.

Having grown up in the southwest of France myself, I knew Yuri's experience was bound to be extraordinary.

I feel extremely honoured to be part of Catherine's book. The journey of editing this project has only deepened my passion for writing, hence my decision to pursue it at university.
