Crazy Times!

Well, I have to apologize – due to technical difficulties and traveling non-stop for the last few weeks – I’ve been lax in my blogging, and have not managed to post my Featured Friday Author. But then I figured, since last Friday was my birthday,(not sure what that has to do with anything),  and I am an author, I could feature myself. And do a giveaway!
Pretty smart thinking, eh? So, here we go!

Who Are You?

I’m an incredibly blessed wife to an amazing man, we’ve been married 26 years now, so when people ask me if I think my daughter is young to be getting married at 23, I say no, I was married at 20 and it worked out just fine!! We have two incredibly talented children – Sarah, the daughter getting married in May, is a photographer, and our son, Chris, is a musician studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston. We’re so proud of them both we can hardly stand it. 🙂

I’m someone who is constantly amazed by God’s grace. And awed that He calls me His.

I love dogs – we have a four-year-old Border Collie, Noah, who is my third child, since ours have both flown the coop! He’s pretty much a one person dog and when I’m home he’ll be right there by my feet. And yes, he does collaborate on my stories with me. 🙂

I love to write stories about forgiveness, redemption and hope, and being able to share them with readers is such a cool thing!

Where Are You Now?

I’m in a very satisfied place in my life. I’ve had two books released, Yesterday’s Tomorrow, and Hidden in the Heart, which has been a dream come true in so many ways. I get to stay home and do what I love to do, which is write. I’ve got a couple projects with my agent at the moment that we’re going to be sending out in the near future, so I’m excited to see what will happen with those books. I’m working on another story now that’s been on the back-burner for a while. And I’m just trying to keep my head afloat amidst it all!

Where Are You Going?

That’s the exciting part – I don’t really know! But I do know that God has it all laid out, and I’ll just go along for the ride! It’s been a great one so far, along with some ups and downs and hard times, which served to bring me closer to Him, so I’m just trusting that next chapter of my life will be full of the same. I wouldn’t mind if there were no hard times though, but that’s all part of the journey, isn’t it?

Cathy’s Latest Book:

Everything Claire wants seems to be beyond her reach…

 After losing her mother to cancer and suffering a miscarriage soon after, Claire

Ferguson numbs the pain with alcohol and pills, and wonders if her own life is

worth living.

Adopted at birth, Claire is convinced she has some unknown genetic flaw

that may have been the cause of her miscarriage. She must find a way to deal

with the guilt she harbors. But exoneration will come with a price.

With her marriage in trouble and her father refusing to answer any

questions about her adoption, Claire begins the search for her birth mother.

For the first time in her life, she really wants to know where she came from.

But what if the woman who gave her life doesn’t want to be found?

For all those who have loved, experienced loss,

and lived life’s roller-coaster
