Born in Rockford Illinois, Cathy Gregory embraces the values of her midwestern and Swedish heritage. Her father, born of Swedish immigrants, taught her the value of simplicity and hard work.  Her mother, a feminist, and retired bank executive, taught her to have the courage to stand up for all human life.  Cathy inherited her love of nature and gift for writing from her mother and grandfather.

Her studies in dance at ASU led her to start a dance ministry, she also teaches bible study and has worked missions in Puerto-Rico and New Orleans. When not writing, Cathy loves nature, painting, eating with family and friends, and binge- watching Netflix series.

Her first book “Into the Garden: lessons on a spiritual journey” a collection of narrative essays, transports her readers on a wonderous journey of faith through the lens of the garden.
