Learn about these next two authors and their books.

Catherine Michaels

Meet Catherine Michaels. She and I go way back to the time when we both started writing books. She and I even wrote a Middle-Grade book together, (“Just Between Sam and Me”) which was released in 2020. You may remember her author name as “Cat Michaels” when she was a children’s author. Find those books ► here. She now writes cozy, fun romance books.

About the author

Catherine Michaels whisks you away to sun-drenched shores with her kisses-only beachy romances. Get ready to laugh, shed a tear (or two), and swoon over heartwarming characters you’ll instantly connect with.

In her Gull Island Romance series, set against the backdrop of a small town in coastal North Carolina, her flawed but relatable characters navigate heartbreak, rediscover love, and find their soulmates.

Catherine and her family live outside of Raleigh, North Carolina, where she visits her happy places on the coast every chance she gets.

Next up…

Here’s another wonderful, supportive author. She recently released a Middle- Grade book you might want to check out. I read it, and it was cleverly written with much research on the subject.

Carol Baldwin

About the author

Frequent library trips, Saturday mornings reading in bed, word games around the kitchen table, and letters to pen-pals—these are the photographs from my childhood. My mother told me, “You have a way with words.” I believed her and grew into that blessing.

I started by publishing nonfiction because I felt comfortable translating my observations and experiences into words. Gradually, I left the safety of my own experiences and worked into writing fiction. I didn’t leave nonfiction behind though. Every story I plan to write will be rooted in real events and real places. Every writer has their favorite genre. I admire books that show tapestries of relationships and the interior life of a character’s emotions and choices. I hope that my books will capture that same experience for my readers.
