Cate is a writer of historical romance…and is also a professional pediatric nurse who recently added a new position to her life’s resume—retired. She lives in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains of Northeast Tennessee with her husband and two demented Siamese cats. With her husband, a retired U.S. Navy officer, she lived and traveled widely, not only throughout the United States, but also Canada, Mexico, and lovely England. With her husband and daughter, she spent several years living in her favorite American city, Charleston, SC, which provides the setting for her first three novels and settings for the fourth. For a girl who grew up to become a registered nurse, she has been interested in history since . . . always. What's her favorite time period? Um-m . . . all of them? She's currently working on a novel set in 1306. It will be called Once Upon a Duke: The Lost Heir. The next one, set in 1830, will be called A King's Promise. Now there's a stretch in time!
