Cate was raised on a farm in Virginia and horses were her life. But when she got a poem published in an equestrian magazine (she was 12 years old) she knew writing was her real dream and life's work. After college she spent 20 years as a journalist writing articles for newspapers and magazines. Books were the next inevitable step.Her first book, Unearthing Venus: My Search for the Woman Within was a shocking memoir of a 56-year old female journalist who suddenly discovers she's been raised in America to think, act, and live life like a guy. As Cate puts it, "What a wake-up call to realize that seeking 'equality' in a man's world on men's terms is not equality for a woman at all!"Next she wrote The E Word: Ego, Enlightenment & Other Essentials-a zen-like treatise about what the ego is, what it's for, why it doesn't create a happy life, and what to do about it-a fast read with lots of psychology tidbits, spiritual zingers, a dab of quantum physics and more than a little humor. As she's gotten older she's lightened up considerably and now she writes novels. Apollo & Me is her first fiction title.

A cross-time tale of deathless love, magic and sexual healing, Apollo & Me explodes the myths around older women and sex, the relationship between the gods and man, man and woman, and the very nature of the world itself. She is co-founder of Rampant Feline Media, speaks and teaches about the life lessons she's learned, and happily lives on the island of Maui.
