Catherine Hawthorn is a writer who prays in Latin and is in love with the traditions of the Catholic Church. She has the spirit of a Celtic shield-maiden, the grit of a bonneted pioneer, and the heart of a romantic. By firelight, she patiently mends plot holes made by her rebellious muse and spins tales of historical fiction and fantasy; and when the sun shines, she will be either found in the garden with a spade, the kitchen with a song, or in her old-fashioned bedroom knotting threads together. You can sample her writerly creations and follow the mishaps of her characters on her blog, The Rebelling Muse (catherinesrebellingmuse.blogspot.com).
