Cat RipponCat Rippon was born in Westcliff-on-Sea, England. In 1990 she emigrated to Australia and has lived here for 32 years, bringing up her family. As a child she always had an overactive imagination and this fueled her joy of writing. The Buttercup is herthird book.Authors note: The Buttercup took two years to write. It was an idea that manifested and would not leave me alone until I got it down on paper. As the characters grew, I got more invested in their story and the twists and turns challenged every word written.The Buttercup was written using experiences from everywhere in the rich world we live in. The fictional characters pulled me in the more I wrote, and there was no escaping until the very last word. Hopefully this will leave the reader wanting more.I want to thank my family for encouraging me on this journey and for believing that eventually I would finish. Their encouragement spurred me on.
