A childhood spent in the Midwest and Washington D.C. left Catherine
Haustein with a fascination for political intrigue. She even ran
for office once. She lost but came away with a treasure-trove of
observations and an appreciation for people who keep their hand on
the wheel of this experiment known as democracy.
A clandestine alchemist, she’s a professor emerita of chemistry and
currently a freelance chemist and author. Other than these useful
skills, she has a knack for spotting four-leafed clovers. She’s
also a fan of lost causes, including Medusa, who she views as
completely misunderstood. She resides outside Des Moines.
"City Owl Press has got themselves an outstanding author here. The Unstable States series has thoroughly captured my attention and has me eagerly awaiting further episodes." - Ken Thompson
