Cate Covert

 


Cate Covert hails from sunny Idaho, U.S.A. She is a gardener and amateur herbalist who sings, plays guitar and piano, loves baking bread, and makes beaded jewelry. Most of all, Cate loves to engage her reading and listening audiences.  

She raised her children on such classics as Hannah Hurnard’s Hind’s Feet on High Places, John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, and C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia—reading out loud, performing character voices, and pantomiming dramatic scenes to their great delight.  

Cate has been telling entertaining stories since she could talk. She frequently enthralled her familial audience with spine-tingling tales of friendly, long-legged cave-dwelling creatures, her fictional membership in G.L.O.W. (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling), and fanciful tales of her non-existent glory days as a roller derby queen. 

Cate isn’t all fun and frivolity. She has lived in fourteen U.S. states, Ontario, Canada, and Couva, Trinidad (TT, West Indies). She has been an avid fisherwoman all her life and is a former member and Coxswain in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (for 14 years).  

After the 2012 earthquake, she spent some time in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, translating and helping with the logistics of coordinating humanitarian donations from the U.S.A. with local Haitian missions and orphanages in need in the Montrouis, Haiti, area.  

You can read Cate Covert’s poetry, flash fiction, 50-word stories, and dramatic and humorous blog posts on Chadashah.org.  

Cate has been a Christian minister for 26 years. Her inspirational essays, devotionals, and bible studies may be found at Pastora Cate’s Corner on Substack.
