Catt Foy has been a professional freelance writer since 1981 and a psychic counselor and astrologer since 1978.  She returned to college at age 45 and has since completed her BA and MA in English and is currently finishing her MFA in fiction.  She is married to her third husband, and has two daughters and four grandchildren. 

Experience and work in the metaphysical field.

Of course, I have more than one resume, but the main link is to my main (3-page) writing resume. 

I live with my husband, adult daughter and school-age grandson, a roommate, seven cats, one very old dog, a sweet guinea pig (not cuy), and a cannibal hermit crab in Davenport, Iowa.

I am the founder of the Poetry Street Project, a literary and arts magazine featuring creative works from people who have experienced homelessness. I like to teach nature writing workshops.

I was an Americorps volunteer twice--once with the American Red Cross of the Quad Cities in disaster relief during 2001 (yes, I was a responder to 9/11 and spent three weeks in New York), and once with Friends of Vanderveer Botanical Park taking photos and cataloging plants and trees.  I was also a long-time volunteer with the Quad City Labyrinth project and I still walk labyrinths when I get a chance.  I was president of the Scott Community College Environmental Club and won the coveted Hayduke Award.

I am interested in sustainable living, organic gardening, social justice, progressive thinking.  I believe in the Golden Rule.  I am fascinated with ancient history, archaeology, anthropology, and religious studies.  I believe in Atlantis, fairies, angels and ghosts.  I like to cook and entertain.  I read Ode, Utne Reader, Mother Earth News, Organic Gardening, National Geographic and Archaeology magazines.

I have lived in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Florida, upstate New York, Illinois, Texas, Arizona, and Iowa.  I have been overseas once--to Ecuador.  I like to travel to sacred places--even little, tiny, local ones like small Marian shrines or reputed Native American sites.
