Catherine Hall

I'm 56 and an ex-student, ex-trainer, ex-knitter, ex-nurse and now I'm a semi-retired home-maker. Life's too short to procrastinate any more so I'm creating and recording as much as time allows. In my daily life, I look after the house for an adult and two teenagers with Asperger's Syndrome and I'm attorney for another adult with Alzheimer's. No plan can be set in concrete and every day's interesting. I like variety and find mundanity tiring. My interests include computers, crafts, old-style crime novels and science fiction. I've been writing since I was 8 so some pieces are almost historical. I hope you find something interesting.
