Catherine Goldhammer















Welcome!

What do you get when you mix a middle-aged single mom, her twelve-year-old daughter, one dog, one cat, six chickens, two houses, a plumber, a handyman, two electricians, a motley crew of neighbors, an odd little town, a salt pond, and the great Atlantic Ocean?

You get Still Life with Chickens, first published in hardcover by Hudson Street Press, and now out in paperback from Plume, a division of The Penguin Group.

I hope you will stay a moment to learn more about me and my book.

“I did not have a year in Provence or a villa under the Tuscan sun.  I did not have a farm in Africa.  Instead, my diminished resources dictated a move to a rundown cottage in a honky-tonk town where live bait is sold from vending machines.  But as luck would have it, in a town where houses rub elbows, I came to live at the edge of a pond beside a small forest.  I came to a place where dragonflies the size of small birds fly over my yard in the summer.  In a town where everyone knows everything, I came to live in a place no one knows exists.”

A special invitation to book groups!
