  <about><![CDATA[Catherine's first novel Rosetta Stones recently won the New Mexico Book Award's 2009 &quot;Best First Book&quot; award and the Moonbeam Children's 2009 bronze medal award in young adult fiction. She was also a finalist in the New Mexico Book Award's young adult fiction category.<br/><br/>Catherine earned her Bachelor of Science degree from New Mexico State University in 1996 and has lived in Colorado's San Luis Valley for almost a decade. She works with the finest farmers and ranchers this side of the Rio Grande in conserving natural resources.<br/><br/>Her all-time favorite question is &quot;Red or green?&quot; Her favorite answer depends on who's asking. She offers sympathetic prayers to those that have no clue what she's talking about.]]></about>

  <description>
    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Four close friends witness a terrifying crime when they encounter a psychopathic killer in the remote Gila wilderness of southwestern New Mexico. In the chaos that follows, two entities-one good and one pure evil-fight for control of their souls as they struggle toward a terrifying climax that will change their lives forever. At turns frighteningly violent and nearly sublime, Rosetta Stones is a coming-of-age story that transcends the divisions of race and culture through the power of friendship and redemptive love.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
