Author Information
Cathleen Barnhart wrote her first book when she was seven. It was called Aunt Ant, and received rave reviews from her teacher, Mrs. Mills. She's been writing ever since, with detours into waitressing, working on Wall Street (epic fail), getting married, raising three children, and teaching middle school English and Social Studies. She holds a B.A. in Creative Writing from Carnegie-Mellon University and an M.F.A. in Fiction Writing from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. That's What Friends Do is her first published novel.
