Catherine Coulter


Jean Catherine Coulter is an American author of romantic suspense thrillers and historical romances who lives in northern California.

Early life and education

Coulter grew up on a horse ranch in Cameron County, Texas.
While a freshman at the University of Texas, Coulter wrote poetry. After earning her undergraduate degree from the University of Texas, Coulter attended Boston College and earned a master's degree in early 19th-century European history.

Writing career

When Coulter finished writing her novel she sent it to an editor at Signet. Three days later Signet offered her a three-book contract. That first novel, The Autumn Countess, was published by Penguin Books in 1978. By 1982, she was earning enough to quit her job and become a full-time writer. Since then she has written over fifty books and has had forty-two consecutive New York Times Bestsellers since 1988. Her thriller The Maze was her first book to place on the New York Times Hardcover Bestseller list, while The Cove spent nine weeks on the New York Times Paperback Bestseller list and sold over one million copies. Coulter generally publishes one historical romance and one suspense novel each year, and has been rewriting many of her earlier Regency romances to turn them into longer historical romances.

Coulter lives in Sausalito, California with her husband.
