In that position, she wrote many reports and instructional manuals, but was never able to find fulfilment with professional writing. She had a business, CQB Written Solutions, which offered several different writing services, including business plans and I.S.O. documentation for individuals and businesses. Catherine has embraced retirement and has finally written her first novel about her inspirational deaf dogs, Hope and Abby. This has been a lifetime in the making, and a dream come true.
