*****
After graduating with a B.A. in English and Music from a Midwestern college, I became an expatriate of the “Show-Me” state by hopping onto the back of a motorcycle and riding to the Arctic Circle for the summer solstice with the man whom I would marry. It was the early 70′s.
After an extended nomadic existence with our three children, we moved to Northern California where we’ve grown deep roots for the last twenty years. My husband and I own a solar energy business. Life is good.
I’m passionate about writing, books, cats, libraries, working for change starting with the heart and home, reading to your kids, a good cup of coffee, homemade bread and organic gardening.
My book, GUARDIAN CATS AND THE LOST BOOKS OF ALEXANDRIA, blends magical realism with legendary historical events, and will appeal to all fantasy lovers. The cats, facing larger than life challenges while remaining true to their feline nature, will appeal to all cat lovers.
Writing expands my world and energizes me. I’d be happy if I never had to sleep. I can hardly wait to get up each morning and do it all over again.

Kindred spirits, we are.
Hi Tricia: You look really familiar. Glad to see you stopped by. I was just reading up a little on your blog and I’ll add you on my B’Roll.
Nearly finished “Guardian Cats” in one sitting. Stalling with the remaining chapters another day because I want to linger just a bit longer in Marco’s world. How can anyone fail to love it? Books, cats, time travel, magic, angelic beings, and the age old conflict of Good v. Evil – this has it all! A wonderful story, very well written, without the feeling one sometimes gets that that the author is trying too hard to include too much. I’m hoping that the ending will allow for more adventures of the Dead Cats Society! Viva Marco!
Nancy: Thank you for sharing this with me. You can’t imagine how wonderful it is to hear from a reader who loves your book. Let me know how you like the ending.
I just realized we don’t live too far from one another; my husband and I live just north of Chico in Los Molinos on a walnut ranchette.
By the way, I’ve left a comment for you at http://michellefayard.blogspot.com/2011/07/versatile-blogger-award-given-forward.html.

That is close. We’re just south of Chico. Thanks for letting me know about the comments. I don’t always get the notifications.
Rahma,
Thanks so much for posting the Bradbury videos. I really enjoyed them. I already told you how much I enjoyed your book through LibraryThing.com. I hope my cousin has found your book by now.
Denny
Greetings Denny: I remember your nice comments on LibraryThing.com Glad you liked the Bradbury videos.
Rahma, I knew you as “Sherry” when you visited your sister Jan here in St. Louis back in the 70′s. Yours was the first book I ordered from Amazon for my new Kindle Touch. I LOVE your book, which I’m still reading–the story is fascinating and I love that it’s based on a classic hero’s journey familiar to me from the work of Joseph Campbell, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Clarissa Pinkola Estes of Women Who Run with the Wolves, though I know it’s form is much older. I see how well you understand cats as you describe Marco’s behavior, how he jumps onto a tree branch, wants to hide under the bed, etc.; I am a cat lover as well. Your website is also excellent–the video about the Library of Alexandria wonderful. Great book trailer — it’s now on my Facebook wall. Thank you! I hope you’ll will be writing more! Roberta
Hi Roberta: I’m so honored that my book was your first Kindle read. Thank you for taking the time to let me know what you like about the Guardian Cats–before you’ve even finished.
It’s especially nice to get feedback from readers who recognize the classic hero’s journey.
When I first grabbed a pen and notebook that was the beginning of my writer’s journey, I wrote descriptions of my 3 month old kittens, two tabbies named Marco and Polo. I never tire of watching my cats and always wanted to be able to see through their eyes. Writing the book is probably the closest I’ll get to that.
Thanks for writing to me. I love to hear from my readers. Yes, I’m still writing!
