She has published articles in travels magazines under her name Cathy Wagner and won several poetry awards as well as having her poems published in series of anthologies.
It was the loss of her job during the GFC that set her on a course of more formal writing, her first book being published in 2018.

Cate's book 'Roy' covers themes of bullying, overcoming, ADHD and survival. The themes behind the story are relevant to parents and educators as well as teenagers trying to struggle to find who they are.
As a previous educator herself, Cate has therefore put together educational material including discussion points, comprehension, sample lessons and discussion points for staff.
