Biography

Catherine MacDonald started her first writing project at age ten when she wrote and produced her own play and convinced the neighborhood and her family to pay to attend. She won some writing awards in college, but then life took over. Raising children and teaching school left little time to create stories, but the children grew up, moved out, and she was granted space by the Universe. To date, she had written eight books, including Seasons of the Vineyard--a must read if you enjoy a glass of well-crafted wine. Catherine is also a Reiki Master Teacher and if you are interested in spirituality, she suggests The Jeweled Path, Divine Diva, and The Way. Her new book, The Divorce Ranch, is a historical fiction story set in Reno, Nevada 1936. While the country struggled with the Depression, wealthy people headed to Reno for the cure--from marriages! And it's true. The divorce craze was how Nevada came through the Depression.
Besides writing, she owns and operates an RV dealership with her husband, focusing on the needs of her customers and employees. Catherine's writing is all about helping readers escape to another setting, to feel immersed in a story, and to experience a book that will leave them with something that will add depth and meaning to their lives.

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it.

This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction.
