Catherine Isaac (a pseudonym for Jane Costello, which is also a pseudonym) is a British novelist born in Liverpool, England. Isaac/Costello studied History at the University of Liverpool and Journalism at Glasgow Caledonian University. She began her journalism career as trainee reporter at the Liverpool Echo, eventually rising to position of editor at the Liverpool Daily Post.

As Jane Costello, she wrote and published her first book, Bridesmaids, while on maternity leave in 2008. That novel and the next nine were all written as Jane Costello, and all became Sunday Times best-sellers in the UK.

You Me Everything, published in 2018, is her first book writing as Catherine Isaac, a pseudonym comprised of her middle name and her son Isaac's name. She explains the new pseudonym on her website:

It immediately felt different from my previous books and dealt with a subject that was bigger and more important than anything I'd tackled before.

Costello lives in Liverpool with her husband Mark and three sons. (Adapted from the publisher.)
