Catherine Y. Victoria, now known as Queen Kattereen, was born in Houston, Texas, on September 1, 1966. Raised in a devoutly religious family, her father, a full-time Evangelist turned Pastor, relocated the family to Beaumont, Texas. Growing up within the church, holiness has been a constant presence in Catherine’s life. Her parents, who met in the church, were married in her maternal grandparents’ home. Catherine is the second of ten children and is currently a widow residing in Texas. She recently faced the loss of her mother, brother, and husband.

With a writing career spanning over 15 years, Catherine Y. Victoria-Cole, a “Born Again” Christian, has a passion for writing spiritual books, children’s literature, and upcoming ventures into cookbooks. The name “Queen Kattereen” originated when a child at church attempted to say “Queen Catherine,” leading to the unique and historic name.
