Currently, Catherine lives in Richardson, Texas (just a tad north of Dallas), with her husband, two teenagers, three cats and one thoroughly rotten dog. She works in accounting by day and creates new worlds by night. Her debut book, SHIELDER, won the Emily, and the FF&P's On The Far Side, as well as being a Maggie and Golden Heart finalist, before it was published. Her second book, SHADOWER, was released December, 2000. SHADOWER is the long-awaited prequel to SHIELDER, and is the story of Sabin Travers and Moriah Cameron.
