About

nashvilleCate lives in Nashville with her two wonderful children. When she’s not working full time or being a mom full time, she slips into her teen alter ego and writes Young Adult novels.

Cate began writing in elementary school for an assignment, and from there, the love of creative writing took hold. It wasn’t until college that she realized that her dream was to create the perfect romance; she’s still working on that.

So why Young Adult Paranormal?

“I’m fascinated with creating characters that defy normal limitations. But I think what makes these types of characters so interesting is that their weaknesses, their flaws, tend to be humans or humanity itself. With YA, one of the themes that affects young adults is identity, and when your characters’ identies don’t fall into typical groups, it provides for great conflict.”

What I'm reading right now....

3-6-10 : Well I splurged today. I bought 4 eBooks. I got the next two House of Night, Betrayed and Chosen. I was surprised that I whipped through the first one so fast. It wasnt brilliant writing, but hey, I read it in about three days. I aslo downloaded Abraham Lincoln : Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. I am very excited to read this one. His first one about Jane Austen and zombies didn't look appealing, but this one does.

2-28-10 : I finished Hush, Hush and enjoyed it. Now, I'm reading Marked by PC and Kristen Cast. It's definitely different for a vampire novel. I also finished Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Now I'm reading Sea of Monsters.

1-11-10 : I bought two more ebooks! Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick and a PC Cast vampire book. Details later. But I am liking Hush, Hush.
