Cathy Liggett knew writing fiction was for her after reading aloud a junior high English assignment and watching the classâat least the girlsâwell up with emotion. Yet it wasn't until much later in life that she seriously tried her hand at storytelling again. First came years of advertising copywriting, gift product development, and the publication of a non-fiction book.
Through it all, the urge to write fiction kept tugging on her, and a few years ago she published sweet romances for the secular market. After the release of these books, however, came an even stronger tug on her heartâa yearning to write inspirational fiction. Beaded Hope came from that desire.
Cathy and her husband, Mark, live in Loveland, Ohio, and are always happy when their greatest blessingsâtheir two grown childrenâare home for a stay. Visit her Web site at www.cathyliggett.com.
