A Short Biography
Cat, an award- and prize-winning poet and playwright, and journalist has been published widely in periodicals; her work has appeared in Where Toronto Magazine, The Globe and Mail, Guelph Mercury, Kings County Advertiser, Formula, Dogs in Canada, Pets Magazine, The Canadian Architect, Canadian Property Management Magazine, Spalife, North American Inns, CanPlay, Coastal Life, and Condominium, among many others.
Her non-fiction book, Shylockâs Last Stand, (1997) dealt with sordid business dealings and odd participants in Stratford, Ontario, where she lived for 12 years.
In the 1980s-90s she was manager and press agent for racecar drivers in Formula Atlantic, Formula 1 and IndyCar. She was also artistic director and producer for a small, independent theatre company, located in Stratford, 2003-2005.
Theatre has been in her blood all her life, from writing to directing and acting, with a couple of dozen completed one- and two-act plays for the stage; she also writes screenplays, poetry, fiction, satire, and boring things like annual reports and newsletters, and works as a professional free-lance editor.
Cat is an avid badminton player, film buff, wine aficionado, traveller, gourmet cook, art collector, theatre fan, and reader, living near the ocean in Nova Scotia with her collie dog, Fiona, and five crazy cats with manuscript veto power.
