Cathy Van Onselen

Biography

I have been addicted to writing fiction stories since the age of 12 and I am an unashamed book addict who loves biographies but who enjoys captivating fiction by acclaimed writers such as Dalene Matthee, Paul C Venter, Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Jerry Jenkins. I love going to the cinema when I have the time - preferred genre any good action movie or a movie based on a real life event. I am a total health nut and I enjoy going to the gym on regular basis. I am currently a part-time health coach but I would love doing it full-time as it is my passion to change people's lives and making a difference on a daily basis.

Biographies, autobiographies and realistic fiction. I don't like fantasy, sci-fi or horror books. I also enjoy a book that keeps you in suspense.

    I love reading horror stories/thrillers. This story kept me captivated from the start to the finish. I love an open ending that makes one wonder what really happened. Great job, well done!
