Cathlene Smith
About the Author
In her own words:
I have been writing most of my adult life. I began with poetry; with over one hundred pieces published. I started writing short stories two years ago. “Sophie” and “The Wedding” have won two awards apiece and are published by JD Vine. A natural progression was to move to novels. I’m extremely pleased with the rapid succession the book took from my laptop to publication.
