Catherine Olson was born in 1968 on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. For twenty years she was an Army Special Forces wife while going to college full time and raising two amazing children. Her first book, "After Eventide," was written during her husband's latest deployment to Iraq and was her way of keeping her sanity as her last child went off to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The book is meant to be fun and yet offers some of the most accurate historical depictions of the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings.
