about the author

Now you can hear and read more works by Cathi. Since publishing her best-selling book, Rules for Deplorables: A Primer for Fighting Radical Socialism, Cathi has written numerous articles that can be found on this website at America Out Loud where many of her writings have stood the test of time. 

On a more personal note, Cathi wrote her book during a year-long recovery from a traumatic work-related injury in a ladder fall while inspecting roofs after Hurricane Irma in Florida. She's a four-time start-up business owner, Florida State Building Contractor and prior owner of the nation's first all-female construction company, as well as a published author of a self-help book which was featured on CNN worldwide and local news shows in Los Angeles.

That diverse experience, along with Cathi's unique perspective as a California-indoctrinated flaming liberal early in life to a critical-thinking Conservative today. draws the reader in. Everyone can relate to the author in some way.

After writing Rules for Deplorables in 2019, Cathi has been on a speaking tour sounding alarms about the coming dangers Americans face. Few listened but many sprung to action after she became Florida State Ambassador for the first grassroots election integrity organization, Defend Florida (DF) in January 2021. DF became the driving force behind passage of recent Florida election bills tightening laws in the Sunshine State. She was instrumental in growing DF to 34 county volunteer canvassing teams via her speeches. Cathi also served as DF leader in her own Pinellas County where she gathered and led 80 volunteers who uncovered eye-opening anomalies in local voter rolls contributing to DF's exposure statewide.

Cathi then became the Campaign Manager for a retired Green Beret after urging him to run for Florida State House District 62 while he was unjustly incarcerated for J6. 

It's Cathi's belief that the two most urgent issues facing America today are Election Integrity and our Constitutional rights. Without those fundamental protections, our Republic is finished. The stolen election of 2020 began our current fight for our country. The Jan 6th false flag event led to the stealing of our Constitutional rights for which American Patriots are paying the heaviest price by the weaponization of our Government. 

In September 2025, Cathi finally slowed down long enough to write her long-awaited sequel. While her first political book became a best-seller for its exposure of the Democrats and left as our nation's worst enemies, Cathi believes Republican In Name Only (RINOs) are the biggest threat against President Trump and his America First supporters today. That's why her latest book, "Rules for RINOs: Alinsky Tactics to Fight Republicans In Name Only" targets RINOs. In its first week the sequel reached #1 in New Releases in Comparative Politics. If you liked Cathi's first book, you will love the sequel!

We are now in the final phase to save our country before the globalist Uniparty prevails. The lessons learned in Rules for Deplorables: A Primer for Fighting Radical Socialism  and Rules for RINOs: Alinsky Tactics to Fight Republicans In Name Only are timeless reads critical to saving both our country and our Constitution. Learn today how you can help save our country for tomorrow.
