Ten years after 9.11, I wrote this post on The Daily Grace: In Remembrance

May I also take a moment to thank you for your support and encouragement as my team and I have launched my new website, cathyriggwriter.com, as well as the updated The Daily Grace. I am beyond blessed to work with the most talented folks around. The amazing and ever-patient builder of the site, Christina Goodman of Artvark Creative, who smiled and cheered and performed coding miracles; Ryon Edwards, Riggs Partners, the nicest, most-talented-designer-in-the-whole-entire-world-and-that-is-not-an-exaggeration, who listened as I rambled endlessly re: my hopes and dreams then made them far more beautiful via design, graphics and color palette; Eliza Ellis of Riggs Partners, Detail Wrangler; Tom Barr of Riggs Partners, Answer Man; and Tom Lacas, 37 Gears, who made the magic happen that rooted the thing in the dirt of the world wide web.

Set in a creepy, isolated house where a young bride believes her new husband is poisoning her and that ghosts walk through walls (per NPR). Mexican Gothic is a great read for lovers of the genre. (Which I am, and BTW I enjoyed this one on audio.)

IN APRIL, in the early days of Covid, I made the rather impulsive decision to up and self-publish my first novel. I had great support from a handful of writers I deeply respect and who are renown. I had full reads and good interest from multiple literary agents even...
