Gwen Cooper is the author of several novels and memoirs, including the New York Times bestselling Homer's Odyssey: A Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned about Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat. She is a frequent speaker at shelter fundraisers; donates 10 percent of her royalties from Homer's Odyssey to organizations that serve abused, abandoned, and disabled pets; and serves on the advisory board of Tabby's Place in Ringoes, New Jersey. She lives in Manhattan with her husband, Laurence. She also lives with her two perfect cats--Clayton "the Tripod" and his litter-mate, Fanny--who aren't impressed with any of it.
