We’ve Named Our Litter
Hi, this is the art director, Gayle. You haven’t heard from me in a while because unlike Angel, I am not good with words. However, I have some news. We’ve named our litter of cat logos. Why? Because the emails I would get would say “use the logo.” My reply…

My meeting with Kafka the Great
I have lived and worked in the Easton area for the last 25+ years. Between that and the fact that my only child will turn 20 in 2024 reminds me almost daily of how old I am getting. One of the people I met in my early days of Easton…

The beauty of simple
I thoroughly enjoy watching Gayle develop our books. The itty-bitty how-to-cat book should be heading to proofreaders soon. Not as soon as I would like, but the summer heat has melted my editing brain. Can’t do good work when your brain drips out your ear. But seriously… I wanted to…
