Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved to read more than anything, and she especially loved mysteries. That girl, Cate Nolan, grew up to write her own stories. Today she is a Publishers' Weekly bestselling author of suspense and mystery novels. Although Cate spent most of her life in New York, she now lives by the sea in Maine, where the rolling waves and foggy mornings inspire her. When she's not writing, Cate is a middle school English Language Arts teacher who encourages her students to develop their own reading and writing talents.
