Amy has been a cat lover her entire life, and as a former teacher, she has always loved children's books. These two passions inspired her to write the Buddy series. She has been fostering kittens for over seven years, caring for almost 200 of them, in addition to the 17 personal cats she has loved over the years. As the owner of The Meow Mob, she stays busy writing books, designing merchandise, and sewing and crocheting cat toys and mats.
