After teaching elementary school for several years, Cathy Vasas-Brown's thoughts drifted to murder and in 2001, her first novel, Every Wickedness, was published by Doubleday Canada. It was nominated for an Arthur Ellis Award for best first crime novel. Cathy's second thriller, Some Reason in Madness, was published in 2004. Her third novel, Safe as Churches, is available for Kindle,Kobo,Apple,and Nook readers,as well as in print.Critics have claimed that Cathy "writes a slick, straightforward tale" with a "sinuous plot as her stories gallop to a climax." Though Cathy has been described as a writer who "shows a talent for great gore," she has a very soft spot for animals (and she likes people, too).When not writing, she enjoys traveling, skiing, in-line skating, playing cards, cooking and going to concerts. She has been known to dance as if no one is watching.She welcomes readers to visit her website at www.cathyvasasbrown.com and looks forward to thwarting more diabolical killers on the pages of her books.
