Caty Rose Madden
I am married and have a thirteen-year-old daughter who is a main focus of my thoughts and much of my writing. I never could decide what I wanted to do for a living. And even in college I ended up graduating with a Bachelor of General Studies degree (concentrating mostly on writing and humanities courses). So far in my work life I've done a wide variety of things. It hasn't been dull. I also went back to school and earned another degree in Children's Literature and Drama studies with a minor in Writing and then coursework to get an Elementary Teachering Certification. I've taught pre-school and kindergarten. My passions in life continue to be children and books, learning and imagination, people and relationships, and how spirituality relates to it all.
