Capitol Hill Author Entertaining and Informing



Cathy Travis worked on Capitol Hill for 25 years as a communications director, senior advisor and political consultant for various Members of Congress until her early retirement. A native of Jonesboro, Arkansas, Travis graduated from Arkansas State University and resides in Washington, D.C. Her first book, the award-winning Constitution Translated for Kids, continues to be hailed by partisans in all major political parties as an even-handed, non-ideological rendition of the founding U.S. document. Travis herself has been a registered Independent for over a decade. Since 2008, she has been writing books full time, publishing fiction, nonfiction and children's books. In 2017, she published Cold War II, and completed an accompanying screenplay. In 2015, she wrote a screenplay based on her novel, Reunion.
