Cathy AdamsCathy Adams has been writing novels nonstop for twenty-five years, ever since she wrote a play consisting of two characters and five lines of dialogue as a first-grader. Opening up the raw insides of what makes us who we are is the basis for most of er stories-when a plot or character makes Cathy feel uncomfortable, then she knows she needs to write about it. "A Body's Just as Dead" is inspired by an actual event and comes from her desire to understand why someone planning to buy AA batteries and toilet paper at a Walmart could end up shooting another person out of rage. A native of Alabama, Cathy is a Pushcart Prize-nominated short story writer. She currently resides in Liaoning, China. Her unpublished novel, "Wonders Without Number," has been chosen as a winner of the Flying South 2019 novel competition. In September, an excerpt will be published in a collection of the winners in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, and will be available on Amazon. Read More Read Less
