She can recall writing fantasy stories for her classmates in Grade Three, so she started finishing her books the day after her retirement became official. Her short stories and poems have been published in a number of Canadian literary presses. Her story, "What Kelly Did", won the prestigious Arthur Ellis Award for Best Short Crime Story in 2012.In the fall of 2011, she was thrilled to be awarded a four-book contract by Imajin Books for her Emily Taylor Mystery series (previously self-published), and has never been happier with this burgeoning second career!Catherine's books are gritty, yet portray gorgeous surroundings; they deal with sensitive social issues, but always include love and hope. They're not thrillers, but rather literary mysteries with loads of character and setting. And justice always prevails.Her latest novel, Sweet Karoline, is a psychological suspense.Catherine is also the author of the novella series, Kira Callahan Mysteries, Up Chit Creek and Operation Babylift. She has also co-written several screenplays with her film-fanatic children.AwardsWinner, Arthur Ellis Best Crime Short Story Award, 2012Winner, Derrick Murdoch Award, 2012Winner, Bony Pete Short Story Award, First Prize, 2010Winner, Bony Pete Short Story Award, Second Prize, 2009Winner, Brampton Arts Acclaim Award, 2005Winner, Dufferin-Peel Catholic Elementary Principal of the Year, 2002, the Catholic Principals Council of Ontario.Winner, Elementary Dufferin-Peel OECTA Award for Outstanding Service, 1998vizualizați mai puține
