J.J. Kat wrote poetry as a young girl. On warm, sunny days she would sit on small hills of large, dry rocks near the stream. The solitude freed the words from her mind, and she would write them down as they spilled from her heart. As years passed and she grew to the age of a college student, she frequently went seeking the solitude that only nature's water and trees could provide. When she was twenty-one and headed to New York City on a train, she knew she wanted to write a book. After New York City and many years in Chicago, her life's journey led her to Denver, Colorado, where she lived for many years. She fell in love with Colorado. J.J. Kat found real peace in the small towns and villages in the Rockies outside of Denver where she climbed mountains and rode horseback up the mountainous terrain. She married and had her two daughters. It wasn't until her move to De Pere, Wisconsin and after the births of her grandchildren that she wrote that elusive book. Because of her love for the innocents of the world-children and animals-it was natural for her to write about children and animals in her first book series.
