“Though I have over 45 books in print in both fiction and non-fiction, my most notable books were [the novelizations] ‘Romancing the Stone’ and the ‘Jewel of the Nile.’ I went to Hollywood and met Michael, Kathleen, and other original cast members,” Lanigan said.

Lanigan has too many publishing stories to tell, but she shared a few.

“My Shores of Indian Lake romance series, set in Indiana, for Harlequin resulted in a Hallmark movie, ‘The Sweetest Heart’, which still plays on The Hallmark Channel,” she said. “It was a dream come true as all the characters in my series are heartfelt. I still love that Chris McNally is the lead on ‘When Calls the Heart,’ but it was my movie that launched his career with Hallmark. Also, he met his love, Julie Gonzalo, on our set and now they have a baby. Now, if that isn’t a love story to end all, I don’t think I could write one any better.” https://catherinelanigan.com/
