Her love of the awe-inspiring past stuck with her as she completed a B.A. (Double Major, First Class) in English and History. She completed a year-long Post Graduate course with Sotheby's auctioneers in London, England, and worked for several years in Canada as an antiques and fine art appraiser.
She started writing novels—including her first medieval romance, A Knight's Vengeance—while her baby daughter was napping. Catherine's books were originally published in mass market paperback, and several were released in Czech, German, and Thai foreign editions.
She has won numerous awards for her stories, including three gold medals in Florida Writers' Association's 2021 Royal Palm Literary Awards and the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence. Her novels also finaled in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, the National Readers' Choice Awards, and the International Digital Awards (twice).
When not working on her next book, Catherine enjoys cooking, baking, browsing antique shops, traveling, and get-togethers with friends
Fatal Truths was a good story, and except for a couple times in the middle it got bogged down with a lot of historical stuff, was decently paced. I liked the fact it wasn't the typical plot. Elayne was a good heroine, not pushy and overbearing and not a bumbling dimwit. Alex was the perfect lord of his castle. The kids added a lot to the story. My Lady's Treasure was another good story that kept my interest but was very predictable. Tender is the Knight, not one of the author's best. Lady Ryan was a real pain and caused way too much trouble. Finally, Midnight Shadow was ridiculously violent but ended with a HEA. Bria was unreasonable much of the time. A good selection and great way to read these authors if you're unfamiliar with their work.
I have had a good time reading all four books. In each of story had been a good story line and sucks you in to the lifestyle of the people for what they to get through just life and death. I had a good time reading them. I would read them again.
