Cathy Glass
Cathy Glass is a pseudonym. She has been a foster carer for over 20 years, during which time she has looked after more than 100 children, of all ages and backgrounds.

Cathy has three teenage children of her own; one of whom, Lucy, was adopted after a long-term foster placement.
Cathy has always had an interest in writing, combining fostering with occasional freelance journalism and commercial writing, usually when a particular issue stirs her passion.

She is also a published fiction writer, with poems and short stories published in a number of commercial magazines.
