Cathryn is the author of over thirty psychological suspense novels, including the addictive ALEXANDRA MALLORY series featuring a sociopath you can't help but love. The things that cause torment in real life-obsession and revenge, guilt and envy and longing-are endlessly fascinating in fiction and she never grows tired of writing stories about characters struggling to overcome the worst.Cathryn also writes ghost stories because who knows what lies beyond our senses-The Haunted Ship Trilogy and the Madison Keith series of novellas.When she's not writing, she's usually reading psychological thrillers, watching crime documentaries, walking on the beach, or playing golf, going way out of her way to avoid hitting her ball in the sand or the water. She lives on the Central California Coast with her husband and her cat, Cleopatra.
