BIO:
Today we are interviewing Cathie Hedrick-Armstrong. Cathie is a literary agent at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency with nearly nine years experience in the business. A life-long lover of books, Cathie has vivid memories of the exact day she unlocked the secret code behind letters that, when combined, form words. Since then, it’s the rare occasion when you’ll find her without a book in her hand, a Kindle in her purse, or a pair of AirPods in her ears while she devours the works of whatever author she’s selected as her new favorite of the month.

Born and raised in Oklahoma, Cathie is a 1992 graduate of the University of Oklahoma where she received a B.A. in Journalism and a minor in history. Not surprisingly, she’s a rabid OU Sooners football fan. In recent years, and thanks in no small part to Taylor Swift, Cathie has become a huge fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles—unless they’re playing each other, in which case FLY EAGLES!

Cathie currently resides in Minnesota where she and her husband of 32 years share two grown children and a son-in-law, and where she satisfies the state requirement of cheering for the Vikings when they face off against the Packers.
