Jean Plaidy had one, written back in the 1950s, called The Sixth Wife. It has remained in print, and I've heard it's quite good, but I haven't actually read it yet.
Katherine also figures prominently in Alison Weir's The Lady Elizabeth by virtue of the fact that Elizabeth lived with her for a time, but she isn't the main character. I thought that was an entertaining read, although by the end of the book Elizabeth's vanity is a bit grating.
There's also The Last Wife of Henry VIII by Carolly Erickson and The Ivy Crown by Mary Luke. Again, I haven't read either one, but the Erickson one is fairly recent. Mary Luke's is older but it was strongly recommended to me.
The one author I thought would surely have written about her, but hasn't, is Philippa Gregory. She's covered many of the other Tudor monarchs but I guess she never got around to Katherine.
