Catherine Avril Morris lives and writes in Austin, Texas, where she consumes as many breakfast tacos and double-Americanos as possible. When she isn't eating, reading a novel, watching terrible TV shows with her husband, or chasing the two- and four-legged beasts -- er, that is, children and dogs, who destroy -- er, that is, live in her home, she is dreaming up sensual love stories with a pulse of humor and a whole lot of heart.Catherine is also a freelance writer whose work is available all over the Web. In 2012, she was a proud cast member in the Austin Listen to Your Mother show (to view a video of her reading her essay to a live audience, search "Catherine Avril Morris" on YouTube.com). Catherine also volunteers as the Communication and Media Chair for Ruby's Rainbow, a nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to adult students with Down syndrome. This cause is especially near and dear to Catherine's heart, since her own daughter, Pearl, happens to be "rockin' an extra chromosome." In fact, Pearl was the primary inspiration behind the title character of Cassidy in Cassidy's Daddy!Here's one more fun fact about Catherine: A long time ago, she had a role in a little film called Dazed and Confused that became a cult classic.
