Q. In your upcoming psychological thriller, Six Weeks To Live, a woman is effectively hunting for her own killer. What are readers in for?

Catherine: Hopefully a page-turning read about the lengths someone will go to uncover the secrets in their own life.

Q. Twins are creepy, which I feel I can say because I am one. What role do twins play in your books? Why do they reoccur?

Catherine: Ha! Well, this book has triplets, so! I’ve used multiples in two books, this one and I’ll Never Tell. I like the duality that they represent – the same person on paper but with differences. It’s an interesting relationship to explore.

Q. Twenty years practicing law. Wow. How does that experience continue to impact your writing?

Catherine: I think that practicing law allowed me to learn how to tell stories in a compelling way and to learn a lot about human nature under stress.

Q. One of your biggest successes, I’ll Never Tell, is about a young woman attacked at camp and a family’s search for the truth years later. What do you think it is about that story that strikes a chord?

Catherine: I think it taps into the nostalgia of camp which a lot of people have experienced.

Q. What are you working on now?

Catherine: I’m working on my 2022 book – Please Join Us. It’s about a woman who gets invited to a secretive women’s organization. Chaos ensues.
