In her other life, the one that provides a mundane escape from the fantastic world of being an author, she masquerades as a newspaper editor and columnist. As her alter ego, Cathie Shaffer, she has won numerous state and national awards for her writing, and is known as a fair, hard-hitting journalist.

Cammie lives in a small town in northeastern Kentucky with her beloved canine companion, Maggie, and almost as beloved feline companion, Tabby. In her spare time, she claims to enjoy snowboarding, cruises to tropical destinations and creating wedding cakes from scratch. However, those who know her best say she is far more apt to be found reading, sewing, watching TV or sitting around a campfire.
