About Cathy & DD
Cathy MacRae
You may have noticed the words 'Tom Chittick photography' in the lower right of many of the photos on the website. Several years ago, I came across Tom on fb. He was a guide at Eilean Donan Castle and a fabulous photographer. I asked if it would be possible to use a couple of his photographs on my website. He graciously told me to use whatever photos I wished, just please keep his name on them. There is a slideshow of some of his photos further down this page.
Tom has since passed, but I remember him each time I see one of his photos. Rest gently, Tom.

Fun Facts about Cathy:
I have visited Scotland several times and look forward to returning!
I did eat haggis while there. Not bad, though the whisky sauce (and perhaps a glass or two of wine) improved the flavor.
I am owned by three German Shepherds and an orange tabby cat.
I currently reside in beautiful Wisconsin, USA.
I love gardening and bird-watching.
There is a dog or cat in each of my books, as I love the relationship between animals and humans.
My day job is as a dog trainer for Patriot K9s of Wisconsin where we train service dogs for disabled veterans.

. . . And a bit about DD
With more than 35 years of martial arts training and a deep love of history, DD draws on personal experience to shape characters and story lines. DD's story, Highland Escape, won the coveted Golden Claddagh contest in 2012, though it went through a bit of a re-write and edit before being published in 2015.
DD is also an avid musician whose favorite instruments are guitar and bass, with an ear for an endless array of music.
DD enjoys reading many genres of books and is a super-fast reader who can tuck away a novel a day--if time permits.
DD counts 4 beautiful daughters and 11 adorable grandchildren as family, along with an assortment of dogs and one some-times annoying cat.
