About Cathy's Angel
Single mom Cathy Johnson is tired of running her life alone…what she needs is a well-trained angel to help out. Jared Savoy gave up the dream of having a family when he discovered he is sterile. Can a confirmed bachelor and the mother of four find love amid normal daily chaos?
When did you write Cathy’s Angel?
Cathy’s Angel was written and published in 2007 by The Wild Rose Press for their White Rose (Inspirational) line. It continues to be a Pelican Book Group/White Rose Publishing title.
What was the spark that gave you the story idea?
Way back in the 90’s I attended a workshop hosted by NOLA-RWA chapter in Shreveport, Louisiana, at which Nora Roberts was the guest speaker. She had us write an assignment, a “hook” and read it to the class. I wrote a scene about a woman jogging who resents the appearance of a newcomer–feeling as though he is intruding on her quiet time. I fleshed out the scene into a short story which was accepted but never published by a romance Ezine. When TWRP ventured into short stories as well as novels, I submitted it there.
Why do readers buy Cathy’s Angel?
Although the story contains a spiritual message as all mine do, people enjoy Cathy’s Angel because it is a light-hearted romance and a quick read.
