Cate Waters is 15 years old and lives in Haslett, Michigan. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends as well as participating in softball and cheerleading. Cate has always enjoyed reading and writing. She hopes that her stories can be a way to get children interested in and excited about reading and writing as well. What began as a personal narrative in a 6th grade language arts class has blossomed into so much more. Dobson and The Birthday Surprise is the result of that assignment. Cate plans to write many more children's books about her many adventures with Dobson!
