Calamity Cash Fan Appreciation Week 4: Caitlin 'Cat' Watts-FitzGerald

I knew Cat for years before I ever saw this beautiful face. But that was what the internet was when I started using it, a great place for people far away from each other to jump into chat rooms and instant messages to play out adventure stories or romances with fellow writers, and others who just wanted to get away from reality for a bit. Or maybe that distinction is redundant.

Probably more than a seed of Cat's influence in "Calamity Cash" - few people I knew exposed me to strong female protagonists as much as she did. Along with being a talented and accomplished ballroom dancer, she's also a lawyer now, working out of the nation's capitol - practically in my backyard [well, like Massachusetts is New York's backyard]. But that doesn't mean she's put down the pen, or stepped away from the keyboard. She keeps a travel blog, to chronicle her oft-indulged wanderlust on the blog "intra'cat'inental" with new stuff posted each time she takes to the road.

She's also got a site strictly for her fiction, which I'd also encourage you all go check out. The url is http://unhingedsoul.wordpress.com and I think - I think - she just might be looking for some feedback.

"How can we know the dancer from the dance?"

Almost need a detective to figure that one out, eh Kitty?
