Cat Shaffer is a native Buckeye who saw the light and moved to Kentucky over 20 years ago. Able to say "Louisville" like a native, she adores living in the land of beautiful horses and fast women ... no, wait, it goes the other way around!

A member of RWA for over a decade and a Golden Heart finalist, Cat loves adventure, danger and those to-die-for heroes. Or writing about them, anyway.

Away from the keyboard, she's a mother and grandmother who volunteers with the Red Cross, leads her church choir and has never met a house plant she couldn't kill.

She also lives with a big Sheltie and a gray tabby who keep her humble by reminding her of her place as their servant.
