About the Author: Cathy Hartford
Cathy Hartford is a reclusive storyteller whose passion for science fiction knows no bounds. Born in a small coastal town, Cathy's love for the unknown was sparked by late-night stargazing sessions with her father. Her fascination with what lies beyond our atmosphere evolved into a lifelong obsession with crafting vivid, immersive worlds that challenge the boundaries of human imagination.
Before turning to writing full-time, Cathy pursued a diverse career spanning astrophysics, AI research, and creative writing. This unique blend of experiences informs her rich, detail-oriented storytelling. Known for her ability to blend hard science with deeply human narratives, Cathy explores themes of survival, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of cosmic odds.
When she's not writing, Cathy is rumored to enjoy cataloging obscure celestial phenomena and playing chess against self-taught AI opponents. Though she shies away from public appearances, her fans describe her work as "a kaleidoscope of heart and innovation" and "a must-read for anyone curious about humanity's place in the universe."
To this day, Cathy claims she gets her best ideas during rainy nights, when the sound of raindrops mirrors the rhythm of typing on her well-worn keyboard.
