Apart from being an author, Catherine, who loves reading interesting books for children, young adults, new adults and the elderly has worked in the public television sector. She also works as a bookseller in Saint Paul at the famous Red Balloon bookshop. She later came to get her act together and started her own career path by working in the publishing industry in New York City.Ĭlark currently lives in Minneapolis with her husband, daughter, a 10- year old Australian shepherd and two uniquely strange cats. At the tender age of 21, Catherine got her first job as a secretary. She also tries to keep fit by engaging in running exercises once in a while. She attended and graduated from the Wesleyan University and later received her MFA in creative writing from the famous Colorado State University.Īs a teenager, Catherine’s parents used to insist that she takes a bus wherever she goes leading to the inspiration of the book ‘Wish You Were Here.’ Catherine Clark occasionally follows in her father’s footsteps providing teaching services to eager students and scholars.

Clark grew up in western Massachusetts where her father was a teacher at the Northfield Mount Hermon Boarding School. An added song section near the end (seemingly included to pad out the R/T to 90mins) further slows it down unnecessarily.Catherine Clark is a female American author of several young adult, children and teen books, including ‘The Alison Rules, Picture Perfect, Maine Squeeze, Unforgettable Summer’ among other interesting bestseller novel titles. Especially when we are left with the definite feeling these events can only get worse for these characters. Performances are mostly good but the situations are not always up to par and the ending offers little more than a tacked-on let down. There are several ambiguous occurrences which seem to be left relatively unexplained IE the true nature of the missing man’s business, a mysterious red car that occasionally follows them around, then there’s the young sisters cold disregard for her sister - in light of the fact she seriously lusted after her sister’s husband (the father of her sisters children) What we have here are two Aussie couples behaving badly in Cambodia, falling afoul of druggies, grotty child sex sellers and assorted underground types – leading to a missing man. This might possibly have been a fair 1Hour TV episode but instead, gets stretched out to 1.1/2 Hrs with a sub-standard, messy convoluted edit style. What seemed like a reasonable story on paper gets the over-edited, padded out flash-back screen treatment, till the viewer doesn’t want to know anymore.
