 Cat
Lindler is
a zoologist by education and a writer by inclination. She
won the first writing
contest
she entered, in third grade in England, received a gift
certificate to the village book store, and bought three
novels by her favorite author of the moment: Enid Blyton.
Six years ago, she took a sabbatical from her zoological
work and sat down to write, not the scientific papers
for which she was noted, but the fascinating world of
fiction. But in all her works, her background surfaces
in the form of animals with distinct personalities who
play crucial roles in the story. She has won many RWA
chapter contests and now turned her talents toward editing
and judging as well as writing. She is always surprised
by what her characters say and do, and the unexpected
plot twists and turns.
An
admitted animal-lover and bookaholic, Cat shares her house
with three bossy felines: Bilbo, Bertie, and Eowyn,
who are her harshest critics, and over 7,000 books.
She imagines her epitaph as: "Felled while editing,
trapped beneath a literary avalanche. She died happy
and well read."
