About this author

edit data

I was busy raising a family, working as an occupational therapist, and trying to remember where I hid the chocolate, when a song sparked a story within me. The journey to publication has been long, but full of blessings. I couldn’t have done it without ACFW, RWA, and FHL, the inspirational chapter of RWA, and Nebraska Novelists critique group.

I was born in Washington, DC, grew up in northern Virginia, attended Western Michigan University, and moved around a lot for my husband’s aviation career. Maybe our paths have crossed; shoot me an email and we’ll figure it out!

My favorite place to write is the porch. Then I reward myself with reading time in my air chair – and chocolate, of course!

Catherine Richmond added: Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough read in May, 2012	My rating:
Author David McCullough has a gift for showing a life in all the context of place, time, and people, and allowing the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. And my conclusion is Theodore Roosevelt wasn't all that likable. He shot his neighbor's d...more

Catherine Richmond added: The Ride of Her Life by Lorna Seilstad read in April, 2012	My rating:
What fun to visit Lake Manawa! The Ride of Your Life has a dash of suspense and a delicious romance set against the history of this streetcar resort, early roller coasters, and a squirrel-cage jail. Lilly Hart is one busy woman. She's raising a lively...more
