Cathryn Wellner

Cathryn Wellner is living proof that life doesn’t wind down with age—it gets wilder, funnier, and infinitely more interesting.

A writer, storyteller, and champion of reinvention, she has embraced new countries, new passions, and the occasional unruly farm animal with equal parts curiosity and humour.

Her books—including Hope Wins, Feisty Aging, and Millie’s Feathered Foster Family—celebrate resilience, delight in the absurd, and shine a light on the surprising ways we grow at every stage of life.

Born in the United States, shaped by years in British Columbia, and now writing from Australia, Cathryn continues to chase stories wherever they appear. Whether she’s midwifing a ewe, navigating a new continent at 79, or finding the laughter tucked inside life’s hardest moments, she brings warmth, wit, and undeniable flair to every chapter she writes.
