Cathy Smith aka Sophia Watson and Zara Brooks-Watson lives in northern Maine, close to the Canadian border with her dogs. She can see Canada (Quebec) from some vantages on Rt. 1.
Although she loves to create new worlds as a Cozy Mystery author (as Zara and Sophia Watson), her heart is in her free verse about the natural world which surrounds her.
She attended Boston University (graduating magna cum laude) and Harvard University (which has a place in her natural world as Harvard Yard).
