Cathy Holton

Cathy Holton grew up in college towns in the American South and Midwest. As a child, she entertained her classmates with tales of a scaled creature that lived in her carport shed and a magical phone that hung in her family’'s bathroom that could be used to summon an English butler (this was in North Carolina in the 1960’'s and her family lived in married student housing).

Once, in a moment of epiphany, she overheard two neighbors discussing her.

“"That child is quite the story-teller,”" one woman said. “"That child is the biggest liar on God’'s green earth,”" the other woman replied. “"She wouldn’'t know the truth if it fell out of the sky and clumped her on the head.”"

Cathy knew then that she would be a writer.

She studied Creative Writing at Michigan State University under Professor Albert Drake. She has worked as a dude ranch hand, a university seminar coordinator, a paralegal, and an assistant in a fire investigation firm. The mother of three grown children, she lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee with her husband and a rescue dog named Yoshi.
