I'm Cathryn Cade.

I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, just outside of Portland, Oregon, near the mighty Columbia River and only an hour from the coast. We have three seasons here--spring, bursting with color and bloom, summer, long and lazy, and ... rain. Cold dreary buckets of rain. Along about October, I disappear indoors, to snuggle up with a great book or spin a new story. 

However, I'm a native Montanan, grew up in the cowboy culture, so look for their rugged flavor in my sci fi space captains--it's not that big a leap from horse opera to space opera.

I also recently returned from another spring journey to the Big Island of Hawaii, and you can experience this tropical paradise with me when you read my new Hawaiian Heroes series.
