As a young girl, Catherine found solace in escape: the poems and stories she wrote in her bedroom became her sanctuary. She dreamed that, given the time and opportunity, she might one day write a novel. After a lifetime on the treadmill of pursuing a career and finding love, her dream came true, and the words effortlessly spilled onto the page. When she is not writing, Catherine can be found at her easel painting, taking long walks with her dogs or somewhere on the ski slopes, waiting for her much-loved husband and friends to show her the way home.
