Books by Catherine Olson

Catherine Olsen was born in Brisbane, Australia. She lived in London for many years, where she chronicled the lives of interesting and well known personalities of the day for national newspapers, magazines and foreign syndication. Members of the Royal Family, authors, leading politicians, actors and actresses were among the subjects for her profiles, which appeared around the world. Her first novel, A SongbirdA , was published just before she went to live in The Seychelles with her husband, the former President, Sir James Mancham KBE, whom she met when she interviewed him and who had spent 15 years in London in exile following a coup detat. Catherine now spends her time -and writes - between her homes in Majorca, Australia and the beautiful Seychelles, where she lives at A The Villa IsabellaA , on the beach under coconut trees. The islands were the inspiration and setting for her latest novel A Sweet Seduction and The Third MermaidA .
