Catherine Spangler



http://www.catherinespangler.com

Catherine Spangler fell in love with romance from the moment her parents began reading to her. She teethed on fairy tales, then moved on to Nancy Drew, Louisa May Alcott, O. Henry, Sherlock Holmes, Mary Stewart, Victoria Holt, then on to romance greats such as Kathleen Woodwiss and Joanna Lindsey.

She also discovered fantasy and science fiction. Her interest in SF romance was probably sparked by her family's deep involvement with the space program. She grew up in Huntsville, Alabama,and her father worked for NASA, on Redstone Arsenal, where Werner Von Braun headed up the space program.

However, Catherine's first and foremost love was romances, and she began writing them at the age of thirteen. As an adult, a series of dreams inspired her to begin writing futuristics. Her debut book, SHIELDER, won the Emily, and the FF&P's On The Far Side, as well as being a Maggie and Golden Heart finalist, before it was published. Since publication, it's been a HOLT Medallion finalist, and won both the Aspen Gold and the Laurel Wreath awards. SHIELDER also won a P.E.A.R.L. Honorable Mention in the Futuristic category.

Currently, Catherine lives in Richardson, Texas (just a tad north of Dallas), with her husband, two teenagers, three cats and one thoroughly rotten dog. She works in accounting by day and creates new worlds by night. Her second book, SHADOWER, was released December, 2000. SHADOWER is the long-awaited prequel to SHIELDER, and is the story of Sabin Travers and Moriah Cameron. Although both these books are part of the same series, they each stand alone and can be read in any order. Book three, SHAMARA, was released by Leisure Love Spell in Sepetember 2001, and is Jarek's story.

You can also find a short story SHIELDERS - THE LEGEND OF DESTINY on her web site as a gift to readers from Catherine.
