About the
Author

Catherine C. Heywood writes “hardcore history.” 
Not
your mother’s historic fiction.  Raised in a strict Catholic family, she was once asked to participate in a panel discussion on why she didn’t become a nun.  The answer she gave still makes her mom blush.

She seriously entertained the idea of becoming a criminal defense attorney and a stand-up comedienne, studying for the LSATs while taking improv classes.  Instead she became a political communicator.  Eventually she returned to the first love she remembered as a girl:  writing stories. 

She loves history, politics, and love stories and is a sucker for great conversation and happy hour, old architecture and British comedy.

She studied international politics, political theory, and Scottish history at the University of Edinburgh and has degrees in politics and writing from the University of St. Thomas and Boston College. 

She lives in Western Wisconsin with her husband and boys.
