About the Author

I started writing during my isolation during the pandemic. As I spent my days in my home with my cat family and husband, I was quite entertained by the various activities of my cats. As I watched them, I decided that I had the best subject material in front of me every day.

My cats would become the subjects of a series of books titled Siberian Cat Tales. Nicky came into our family prior to the pandemic. However, I had memories and photos of his arrival and escapades. I compiled this history and began to write my first book about Making New Friends. It has been a joy to write and a privilege to share it with you.

The Illustrator's Quote

“I’ve had the joy of designing book covers for many authors and illustrating books, too.

One of my recent projects has been for the very lovely author, Mary M. Annie.

She’s celebrated her family’s love of cats with this beautiful, soon-to-be-launched book about a Siberian kitten moving into a new home that is already occupied by one other Siberian as well as a Persian cat.

It’s purr-fect!” – Catherine Clarke
