About Cathy
 RITA® Award winner Catherine Mann resides on a sunny Florida beach with her military flyboy husband and their four children.

Catherine writes action-packed military suspense for Berkley Publishing and Silhouette Romantic Suspense, and emotional, steamy romances for Silhouette Desire. With over a million books in print in fifteen countries, she has also celebrated five RITA finals, three Maggie Award of Excellence finals and a Bookseller’s Best win. A former theater school director and university teacher, she holds a Master’s degree in theater from UNC-Greensboro and a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from the College of Charleston.
