Catherine Gayle has been an avid reader of romance novels (and almost anything else she can legally get her hands on) for as long as she can remember. Her mother might say it started in the womb. She will someday (perhaps soon?) receive a B.A. in English from Texas Woman’s University and then teach some of America’s vast hordes of teenagers to love to read and write as much as she does. Or so she hopes. When she is not writing or reading, she can often be found buried beneath her two sleeping cats or chasing the World’s Cutest Monster, otherwise known as her nephew.
