About the Author

Under the pen name Cathleen Clare, Catherine Toothman wrote l4 novels and had stories included in four anthologies for Zebra Books. Sadly, at 55 years old, Catherine died March 17, 2002 in King's Daughters Medical Center in Ashland, Kentucky. Catherine began writing with the July 1992 release of "Mistress of Mishap". Her first book "Lord Scandal's Lady" was her third published book.

In addition to writing, Catherine was a librarian at OUSC and before that at the Briggs Lawrence County Public Library. Her interests also ran to horses; she and her husband operated a stable and taught riding until they sold the farm and moved to Ironton, Ohio and she loved to research her books. "If it was in the book, you could take it as fact", a close friend would state.
