Her second book, The Stealth Lovers, is a prequel and the origin tale of legendary warriors Xaxall (Xax) Knightly and Vivoxx (Viv) Tirowen. Cait’s short stories have been published in anthologies. A Night at the Rabbit Hole appears in the Alice Unbound Beyond Wonderland anthology (Colleen Anderson, Exile Editions).

She also loves to cosplay and eat cake. Preferably at the same time.

When I met Madona, it was at the … More Why I Should Listen to Madona More Often

In my ’Cosm series, I have people who don’t look like humans. Maybe Noola and Stewart are the … More Aliens who resemble humans…huh.
If you follow me on Twitter (@CaitGAuthor), you’d have noticed how I’ve been tweeting with the #25YearOldWIP hashtag this past week. That’s because I was looking through my file manager and came across the first manuscript I’ve ever completed. You know, the kind of work you really shouldn’t show to anyone because it’s so awful? … More Erm…a funny thing happened when I stumbled upon a 25-year-old manuscript.
