Catherine Introduces Herself


I'm the host of this blog and author of the book you see at left, published by Shambhala and coming out in early 2008.

Raised Catholic, I practiced Tibetan Buddhism for many years. About a decade ago, I began to gravitate toward Christian hermeticism. I am particularly interested in magical healing and currently at work on a book about Jesus as a healer.

I'm also the author of a romance novel. It was originally called The Age of Miracles, but when Shambhala reissued it last year, they renamed it Beyond the Abbey Gates.

When not writing my own stuff, I supplement my income by ghostwriting business and self-help books. I'm single (widowed, actually), and live in Chicago.

THANK you Catherine,
I'm still reading your Alchemist (trying to prolong the experience forever).
You sound so youthful but wise, are extremely intelligent, great guide and you have a wonderful sense of humour and you are a woman ;).
Thank you for your book. I gave it to my 17 yo son and he loves it as much as I do.

I absolutely loved this book as did the person who gave it to me -a four times nobel peace prize nominee- and the people i've recommended it to. Enlightening, re-assuring, accessible, down to earth, compassionate and funny. The way of the alchemist has inspired me to write my book, the reluctant mystic (not yet published). In fact I was hoping she might mentor me but haven't had a reply to the email address.

Thank you!!! Your book came home with me from the library unintended but omg I’ve been waiting, wanting and hoping for a book like this for over a decade. I’ve been lost for so long.... but now I can continue my journey. It was a miracle. I’m in a dark night right now, making my way towards resurrection. Your book is a beacon for me. I’m more mystic than magician but now I happy call myself Christian pagan. Before I was Christian I believed in unicorns and still do. I love you thank u for your book ��☀️����

Becoming an Alchemist is the most juiciest and helpful book I have found in many many years. Thank you so much Catherine. Further... are you still around? Is the Jesus as a Healer book still coming? Again, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! :D
