About the Author

Cat Rector grew up in a small Nova Scotian town and could often be found simultaneously reading a book and fighting off muskrats while walking home from school. She devours stories in all their forms, loves messy, morally grey characters, and writes about the horrors that we inflict on each other. After spending nearly a decade living abroad, she returned to Canada to resume her war against the muskrats. When she’s not writing, you can find her playing video games, spending time with loved ones, or staring at her To Be Read pile like it's going to read itself.

Quotes by Cat Rector (?)

“Flowers blossom most thoroughly when given time, affection, and kindness. This is, I suspect, true for most things in life.”
― Cat Rector, The Goddess of Nothing At All

“You read her books?”
Loki held up a finger. “Don’t say it. She’s one of the best Elven storytellers, and you should have expected it.”
“She writes love stories!” I teased.
He scoffed. “And why should I not want to be wooed?”
― Cat Rector, The Goddess of Nothing At All

“I…” the answer needed to be honest. An easy yes would do me no good. “I will make mistakes. I know I will. But I’m ready to be more than what others made me, than what I turned myself into. I’m going to try.”
― Cat Rector, Epilogues for Lost Gods
