Usually, my handlers do a better job at keeping me muzzled because I was born without a filter on my mouth, but in the spirit of the new year I was allowed to write my own author page. This is the part where I’m supposed to show you some boring black and white headshot while I ramble on about my awards, degrees, accolades, and the number of books I’ve published blah blah blah (I’m rolling my eyes and making the jerk off motion with my fist). Do people actually read that self-aggrandizing drivel? I certainly don’t. Anyway, what I would prefer to say is hi, I’m Catalina. I live in the southwest in the sort of town where every driveway has a pickup truck. I can see cows from my home office window (If the wind shifts I have the misfortune of smelling them too). Our only nightclub doubles as a bowling alley and you can’t go anywhere without spotting at least three people you know. Rain is a rare and wonderful blessing in the desert so I sip a steaming cup of Earl Grey and watch the storm from my porch. New Mexico is called the land of enchantment. Every time I watch the sunrise over the plains I agree wholeheartedly. Ribbons of crimson sprawl over the prairie, followed by a burst of orange, and then golden rays that make the hills spring to life and sing. I’m sure most of you live in more exciting places but I love this sleepy little town and its people. I like motorcycles, camping trips, and writing romantic books with a flair of mystery. As this is the last time I will ever be allowed to speak I just wanted to wish you all the best from the southwest. Your ratings and reviews make it possible for me to remain an independent, authentic, African American author. Without your support I would be forced to write a whitewashed, romanticized, Disney version of history that is in no way an authentic representation of my people. So if you have a couple minutes to spare please follow the link below and rate any Infinity books that you haven’t already rated. If you have ideas for new time periods that you would like to see Matthew and Sarah in you can state your story suggestions in the Amazon review. Your opinion means the world to me so lift every voice and sing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a reader :) -Catalina DuBois https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BC2PYXDV
