Cathleen Townsend
author : Cathleen TownsendCathleen Townsend trained as a social scientist, and at various times has been an elementary school teacher, a waitress, a donut baker, and a construction worker. She’s survived child-rearing, scuba-diving with a Mako shark, and a plane crash. \n\nShe discovered Tolkien just before hitting the rocky shores of puberty, and her reading since has been a dedicated quest to finding other books that were “that good.” \n\nWith her husband, she lives in California’s beautiful gold country, which is fortunate since that encourages her to leave her keyboard and take her dogs for walks. In her mind, the oak and pine-studded hills are also home to dwarves and dragons, but they persist in lurking unseen. She loves to chat with readers on her blog at cathleentownsend.com.
