“E. C. Farinha (or Liz, or Cat.) always felt like she was only good at one thing, telling stories. Writing made her feel worthy and getting lost in a book made her feel safe.”
Hi! I’m Liz or Cat…. I was born and raised in South Africa but I always dreamt of living in a faraway land, which was unfortunately fictional. I was therefore determined to create my own. I started writing as a teenager and never looked back. Going Home was the first novel I published, my second novel Wishful Thinking just came out this year and my third novel will be coming out in 2024.
I have always been a creative, my mom was an artist and she made sure I always felt safe enough to express myself.
Paint And My Mat has been a safe place for me to carry on expressing myself. I hope you enjoy what you read here, it’s all raw and unedited. Welcome to my little corner of the internet. 🙂
