•REVIEWS •AWARDS •CONTACT CAAbout Catherine Anderson...
Catherine Anderson, born in 1948, is a bestselling American romance
novelist. Anderson, who resides in the pris-tine woodlands of
Central Oregon, is married to her high school sweetheart, Sid, and
has authored more than 30 award-winning historical and contemporary
romances. Some of Anderson’s earliest memories included playing
dolls at her mother's feet while she clacked away on an old
Un-derwood. Her mother typed away at stories and then read them
aloud to her children. With such an early influence and
inspira-tion, it seems inevitable that Anderson would eventually
become a writer in her own right. But such a course of action would
not be immediate, as Anderson spent many years devoting her time
exclusively to her husband and two young sons. When the children
were grown, Anderson enrolled in accounting courses at college in
order to assist her husband, Sid. As the wife of an entrepreneur,
she felt that she would be an invaluable asset as his bookkeeper.
Yet, even though she was an exemplary student, numbers simply did
not make her happy. With Sid’s blessing, she dropped out of college
and started writing full time. Sid has often said that buying her
first typewriter was the best investment he ever made. Anderson
published her first novel, Reasonable Doubt, to Harlequin Intrigue
in 1988. She authored three more books with HQN before spending
over four years total researching and writing the Comanche series.
The first title, Comanche Moon, was published in 1991. Throughout
her career, Anderson has alternated between historical and
contemporary romance. Many of her novels feature characters with
disabilities. Animals are a recurring theme in her works, with the
setting being on or near horse ranches. Her later novels, including
SUN KISSED and MORNING
LIGHT, have reached the top 5 and 10 of the New York Times
Best-seller lists. Throughout her career, she has made numerous
other bestseller lists such as: USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly,
Ingram, Waldenbooks, and Barnes and Nobles. She has received nine
nominations for the Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Awards, as
well being a RITA award finalist for INDIGO BLUE. Her novel,
CHERISH, was a Romantic Times Award Winner. In 2004, Anderson was
awarded a Career Achievement Award by Romantic Times for
Contemporary Romance. Anderson’s works have been translated into
numerous languages and distributed around the world. In addition,
many titles have been made into audio books. Nearly a dozen have
been made available in large print. Anderson has at-tended numerous
RWA conventions, as well as participating in the writer/reader
cruise “Get Caught Reading At Sea.” In May of 2008, Anderson’s
classic historical romance, COMANCHE MOON, was reissued to the
delight of her readers worldwide. Long out of print, the book hit
the New York Times bestseller list. The next two titles in the
series are scheduled for reissue by her publisher, Penguin
Putnam/New American Library. Scheduled for release in January of
2009 is her newest book, STAR BRIGHT. It is the heartwarming story
of an abused woman’s struggle to reclaim her confidence, regain her
sense of self, and find true love. STAR BRIGHT was chosen as a
Great Reads-Guaranteed Book from Penguin Group. In addition,
Wal-Mart awarded STAR BRIGHT the Read of the Month for January,
2009. To view the book trailer for STAR BRIGHT, visit Anderson’s
website at www.catherineanderson.com. The trailer link will be
available for viewing in December 2008. In June 2008, COMANCHE
HEART, the much-loved and long out-of-print sequel to COMANCHE MOON
will be reissued.
