Catharine LJ Parks

Catharine Leona Joy Minter Parks was born in Chatham Ontario to a Canadian mother and an American father. Her early childhood was spent in the church growing up under a strict upbringing but at an early age started to desire more.

With an adventuresome spirit she would join her brother in escaping the house after bedtime and going downtown with him to dances, plays and the movies, to enjoy all the things that her religious parents denied her.

Catharine's love of words started in early childhood when she would make up fictitious words and songs. She has been a songwriter since being gifted in 1983, and has recorded several songs of her own as well as the song, Proud to be Canadian in 1991.

Ms. Parks writes from life and true experiences, usually with a supernatural twist. On January 25, 2007, she published her first devotional, A Glimpse of the Cross, on the Mustard Seed Ministries Site; it is based on a vision. Cliffhanger was published in November 2007 in Fate Magazine, a short story come true forewarned by a dream. Ms. Parks writes based on dreams that come true, or real life experiences. Ms. Parks live in Victoria, B.C.
