Cate Price

Cate Price was born in England and came to the U.S. when she was sixteen. She spent the majority of her junior and senior high school years translating her 'quaint' English expressions for her fellow classmates. She majored in Communications at Central Connecticut State University with an emphasis on Radio and TV production, and produced and acted in several shows at the local Hole in the Wall Theatre. She's worked as an actress, voice over artist, talent agent, waitress, bartender, casting director and real estate agent, until she finally settled on her current occupation as Executive Assistant to a CEO, (where, truth be told, the acting skills occasionally still come in handy). She is a regular sight on the streets of her home town walking her two amazing rescue dogs, and enjoys gardening, yard sales, and cooking with friends. Writing the first book in this series proved to be rather an expensive project, because while researching auction houses, she also became addicted to bidding on box lots. Cate's previous (unpublished) books span the genres of romantic comedy, romantic suspense and murder mysteries, and have won or finaled in numerous contests, including the prestigious Daphne Du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense. She is currently the VP of her local Romance Writers of America chapter. Over the years she has served as web mistress, treasurer, corresponding secretary and contest coordinator, and has since learned not to volunteer at chapter parties where wine is involved. She is also a member of Sisters in Crime and the Kiss of Death chapter of RWA.
