Catherine’s curiosity and eclectic tastes come to her naturally. Her love of travel and thirst to explore the world around her originated from being born into a military family. This life helped foster a love of history, reading and adventure. Years as a historical reenactor and interpreter fueled her drive to teach. For over twenty years Catherine was a high school History teacher before she began to seriously write down the stories filling her head. When not writing, Catherine can be found traveling with her husband, working in her garden or taking walks with Mr. Pickles.
