Cathy Parker is a former journalist and attorney, now retired and living in Costa Rica with her cat JMack. She earned her Batchelor of Arts in Creative Writing from the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts. She has volunteered in many capacities, including working with beluga whales as a zookeeper’s aide, which is why the first book of the Power Rising Trilogy is dedicated to Mayak, one of the whales with which she spent many an after-chores Saturday evening.
