Cate VanNostrand is a college junior studying English and History, an oldest child who loves her three siblings, and a firm believer that chocolate can fix anything. When she isn’t studying ancient Rome or British literature, you can find her jamming to rock music, working as a developmental editor for indie-published authors, and working on her own WIPs, which are too many to count.
