ABOUT THE TEAM:

---

  Catherine didn’t really get serious about writing until she was in her mid-fifties, even though her family and friends were always expecting a book out of her. Her lifelong career has been in commercial real estate and property management. When her husband died, it triggered her writing archetype and she was off to the races, starting with opening Northstar Manuals, LLC.

“I’m most amazed how the universe assembled the most amazing and talented group of people each with their own special talents to fit the need of the company who just appeared when the need arose. This was my confirmation that I was on the right track” states the owner, Catherine Wilcox.

Catherine had been accused of blogging “at” her friends forever. Now, instead of blogging in person, she writes how one can consciously change their lives for the better and have fun while doing it.

The “Knows everything, Does everything” IT person at Northstar.  Ginger has owned her own company and has returned to Northstar so that all of our systems are top of the line.  Ginger is a most valuable asset to Northstar.

As one of our Customer Service Representatives, she is a stellar employee who sincerely cares about making things right for our Customers.

During her time away from the office, Ginger enjoys working in my many flower gardens, reading and going to estate & garage sales. She especially loves spending time with her children and grandchildren. She is all about family.

 Abby is a recent college graduate with focuses in both Illustration and Graphic Design. She has wanted to be a Graphic Designer since she discovered her love for the field in high school. Abby has always been a creative thinker, and found she is able to fuel that creativity through a passion for both illustration and design! Abby is able to brainstorm, problem-solve, and let her imagination flow freely while working on a design.

When she’s not  tackling a project behind a screen, Abby enjoys bike rides, nature walks, painting, and spending time with her friends, family, and pets!

  Jill has been in the business field for twenty years plus.  Since a young child she has always been very organized, meticulous and easy going which carries her well in work life.

Jill’s first and foremost joy is raising her two children.  She also loves sharing her beautiful life with her fiancé.  Jill’s passions are boating, kayaking, yoga, cooking, gardening and being with her friends.  Jill’s favorite place is either on the lake or ocean.

 Justine has always been a bookworm, so she took that passion for reading and created a proofreading and editing career.  From proofing business directories to the latest novels, Justine will make sure your book is ready to be released to the world! For over twenty years, Justine has been involved in the publishing industry beginning with an internship at the Gale Group and later spearheading her own freelance adventures in proofreading and research.

During her downtime, Justine loves to knit (she will show you how to knit socks!), and creating eco-friendly products. Cheering on her kids, getting involved in the local school community, and cooking and gardening with her husband are just some activities she enjoys.  

 Lina has a passion for books!  When she has downtime from being a busy mom to her four kids, relaxing with a good book is her favorite pastime.  Naturally, she would pick a career that focuses on helping others get their thoughts and ideas into book form.  Along with that passion, she brings to the table her typing and editing skills. 

What she enjoys most about her job is working with a team of enthusiastic and talented individuals who encourage and support each other on a daily basis. "All of our qualities combined make us not only a team but a family as well"
