Her books include: Hearts Akilter (fantasy/sci-fi romance novella) Jewels of the Sky (science fiction adventure) Karma & Mayhem (paranormal fantasy romance- being rereleased in 2017) Adrada to Zool (a short story anthology) Catherine lives on a farm nestled in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains of Western Pennsylvania. In the quiet of the countryside, she writes fantasy, futuristic, and paranormal stories where a reader can escape to other worlds for adventure and romance. Website: http: //www.CatherineEmclean.com
