About my work.

My first book was published by Henry Holt & Co. in 1990. Since then I’ve written about 75 other books that have been published. Many of them were ghost-writes, meaning I wrote books under other people’s names. But I’ve also had a fair number published under my own name, and my own pseudonym, Cate Tiernan. Here is a partial pub list:

Sundays at Tiffany’s, with James Patterson

Little, Brown, April 2008

This is my only grown-up book!

 

Under other people’s pseudonyms, I’ve also written over thirty Baby-Sitter’s Little Sister books (Scholastic Inc.), as well as two titles in the Thoroughbred series (HarperCollins), three titles in the Fearless series (HarperCollins), and other works-for-hire for several publishers.

Many of the earlier books are out of print. You can still get The Disney Girls series, and Sweep and Balefire are readily available at Barnes & Noble, Borders, Amazon, etc. 

Currently I’m working on another Cate Tiernan project, a trilogy for Little, Brown called Immortal Beloved. I’m not sure when it will come out, since I haven’t even written the first book yet. Sometimes the wheels of publishing turn slooooowly.
