Fully-Illustrated Version Just Released!

Great news! The fully-illustrated version of my special new e-book, In Defense of Cats!, is now available! Previously a text-only version was published with just a few opening illustrations. I give my deep thanks and sincere gratitude to the illustrator, my artistic mother Rose, and to my brother, David, who enhanced the illustrations for digital publishing with special colors and light effects. Since the main character, Sir William the Cat, is British, I have also published the book in British English as In Defence of Cats! While Sir William is named after William Shakespeare, we did not yet go so far as to publish it in Early Modern English. Please feel free to follow the author and her cat character on Twitter at: @InDefenseOfCats or at @InDefenceofCats in the U.K. |

Beloved Cat: Once Mortal Enemy, Now Immortal Friend

NOW PUBLISHED! We humans have a unique relationship with cats, and our beloved domestic felines come from one of the most powerful and deadly lines of predators to ever walk the earth. If you are a cat lover or are intrigued by cats, I believe you will enjoy my new poem written in tribute to them which I named: |
Mortal Enemy, Immortal Friend

Coming soon is my new poem "Mortal Enemy, Immortal Friend" for cat lovers that reveals the former dark side of our relationship with them! Per my penchant for happy endings, it will end on a positive note. I will be using the alternating rhyme scheme of an Elizabethan sonnet of 14 lines. Update 01/15/13: My new poem is now released for everyone to read on my website. The final title is "Beloved Cat: Once Mortal Enemy, Now Immortal Friend" (click to read). I hope people like it! |
New Book Cover for "In Defense of Cats!"

Our first book cover had a heraldic, traditional look with a parchment paper color to depict the book's intention to be a humorous "defensive treatise" and timeless document for cat lovers. However, because the book is not a heavy document at all to read and is meant for all ages to enjoy, we have updated the cover to a more modern design that still makes the subject seem classic, but intriguing and fun to read, we hope! |

Cats, Dogs & All Creatures Great and Small

A few people prefer cats over dogs and vice versa, but I believe most people that have cats and/or dogs are animal lovers in general and adore all creatures great and small. Over the last five years, I have adopted three wonderful dogs because my previous partner was severely allergic to cats. One is with him now (Katie), and I now have two new dogs (Finnan and Keira) because it was so hard losing my first dog. I was asked to write my dog adoption story for the blog "From Alone to Home" which promotes and encourages the adoption of homeless animals in shelters. The complete link is: |
