Catherine Gruben SmithI'm so excited you read my book! I love to hear feedback, please leave me an Amazon review and tell me what you think. Don't forget to check out my website, catherinegrubensmith.com, for news on my latest books! You never know when the writing itch wll hit and a new story will shoot from my laptop to your hands. I know you could be reading a good story instead of a long explanation of myself, so let me keep this brief. I live in the middle of Texas, and grew up mostly in a dusty town in the southern New Mexican desert. (Yes, New Mexico is a part of the United States, and no, I am not a missionary, and yes, you can drink the water.) If I told you exactly where your memory would have to be erased. It is my delight and privilege to be a housewife to a wonderful man, mother to our little ones, and an Earl Gray connoisseur. Another of my constant activities is trying to keep our dogs, Beatrice, Lynette, Buddy, and Biscuit, from terrorizing the house and neighborhood with their determination to be always underfoot and hungry. (The work of a dog lover is never done.) When not writing, reading, chasing children or dogs, I can be found baking, hiking, or possibly broad sword fighting with my older brother. If you want a fuller explanation of me, go and read Psalm 30. The heart and purpose of my life can be found there, especially in the last two verses.
