Hi! I’m Catherine. Welcome to my web site.
I’m a fiftyish crazy cat lady, currently living and working in the northeast Atlanta, Georgia, metro area, even though I’m originally from eastern North Carolina. Yes, I have an accent, although it’s pretty mild. No, I’m not a redneck, although I will firmly correct anyone who even suggests that barbecue could be red (or is made of anything other than chopped pork). This includes my husband.
During the day, I’m an employee benefits specialist. I’ve been in this field, in one way or another, since 1996. I currently work as a product associate (subject matter expert) for an independent general agency; in the past I have worked as a benefits specialist in government and corporate human resources offices, as well as an account manager for small group retail agencies.
Outside of paid work time, I can usually be found writing. I write original fiction as Jennie St. Thomas and I write fan fiction as Cat Lady Firebird.
I’m always practicing my Catholic faith; and I figure that if I keep practicing long enough, I may eventually get it right. I’m currently a parishioner at St. Margaret of Scotland in Flowery Branch, Georgia, where I co-host the Holy Ghost Writers group and serve as a reader of Scripture.
During my spare time, I enjoy photography, needlework, gardening, and hiking. On a personal level, I’m married, a stepmother to five wonderful people, and am currently owned by a rescue cat full of tortitude.
